Good News,
Everyone!
Louise and Dale have published the Fall edition of Voice in the
Wilderness. Fr John writes
thoughtfully about authenticity under challenge. Brian
Boom worries that hurricanes will get stronger as the
world warms. He urges support for the victims through Episcopal
Relief & Development. There are reports on
the 165 Anniversary, the Sparkling Summer Soirée,
and the upcoming Pledge Drive.
Our Stewardship Committee will kick off the pledge
drive with a celebratory dinner Saturday 4 November at 6
pm. Come for food and fellowship.
Three of our own, Lucy Eldridge, Amanda Clark,
and Richard Peck, are exhibiting their original
paintings and prints in Burke Hall through the Summer. Come
and appreciate our parishioners' artwork while enjoying your
coffee!

Jesus
came to his hometown and began to teach the people in
their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said,
“Where did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of
power? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his
mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and
Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters
with us? Where then did this man get all this?” And they
took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “Prophets
are not without honor except in their own country and in
their own house.” And he did not do many deeds of power
there, because of their unbelief.
Matthew
13:54-58
