Hello –
Happy Thanksgiving! Although this great American holiday isn’t on the liturgical calendar, it is certainly congenial for Christians. As we say every Sunday “it is right to give God thanks and praise.” I hope this Thursday is a rich and meaningful one for you, with friends, family and good food. And I pray that in the midst of it all, you find voice to give thanks to God.
Here are things that are coming up at St. Paul’s:
1. This Sunday, Erin leads a presentation on the three candidates for Bishop in order to get your thoughts and reactions. The election is on December 2nd, just a week from Saturday.
2. Erin is ordained Deacon at Grace Cathedral on Friday, December 8th at 4pm. I believe there are two or three cars going down with folks carpooling. Email me at c.h.mrtn@gmail.com and I can connect you, if you’d like to go.
3. The 3rd annual Singalong for Saints and Sinners will be on Monday, December 18 at 7pm. Invite your friends and neighbors!
4. There will be no Angel Tree project this year because the preschool is not on our campus while they do construction.
5. Christmas Eve service is at 5pm, Christmas morning is 10am followed by the Pot Luck Feast hosted by Chloe and me. We bring a ham and invite others to bring sides and deserts to share.
6. Transcending Contempt begins Saturday, January 6th at 8:30am.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Blessings, Christopher
