“We are now fully into Advent, the season of expectant waiting and preparation…It is a season of preparing ourselves now to participate in the future as well as the present. It is a season of looking backward and forward…Transitions begin with an ending, go through a fallow period of work and preparation, and end with a new beginning….” Enjoy the rest of this letter from our rector :)

…So let us enter Advent in hope, even hope against hope. Let us see visions of love and peace and justice. Let us affirm with humility, with joy, with faith, with courage… Find inspiration in thought in this advent credo.

Today I bear witness to grace.
Today I practice kindness.
Today I choose love over fear.
Today I am not afraid to be generous.
Today I belong to the whole world,
not merely a portion of it.
No matter what others around me choose,
today I choose to live in peace.
-Steve Garnaas-Holmes

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

We wanted to bring this new film documentary to your attention:
(from The Episcopal Church - Office of Public Affairs)
”A new documentary—first shown to The Episcopal Church Executive Council during its fall meeting—highlights the church’s pioneering efforts in conducting socially responsible investing more than a half-century ago. “Our work on this committee is very much about collaboration with other institutions, dioceses, and organizations—we are grateful for their support, which, along with funding from the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, made this documentary possible,” committee member Diane Pollard said. “We hope Episcopalians will take time to view and share this film and be inspired by the church’s history and work in this area.””
