On Wednesday I went to the birthday party for Mary, who is a few years over ninety (I'm not sure how many). It was a delightful occasion.Three women from our church were there, and they lovingly helped Mary celebrate another birthday. These are women who have known her for many years and have continued to visit and care for her. Not only was it a beautiful occasion, but it was a lovely example of the pastoral care we give each other at St. Antony's.
Mary is a gracious southern lady who received the occasion with her customary grace and charm. She seemed quite happy to have this low-key celebration of her birth. I'm so thankful to be part of a church that is such a caring and supportive community.
