Hi, all!
After a long, cold spring season that seemed to last forever, summer has finally come. School is out (mostly), gardens are planted, and people are making plans for summer vacations. I think I hear a collective sigh of relief.
Summer is a sabbath season for many of us. We slow our activities down, find time to spend with family and friends, do outside things, and generally adopt a slower pace of life. I think that's healthy. Even in a difficult economy, most of us can find simple pleasures close to home that nourish us. It's a chance for us to re-connect with God in new ways.
Many of us will be travelling during the summer, taking vacations, visiting family, and generally relaxing. If you're near an Episcopal Church on a Sunday, I hope you'll stop in and worship. Bring back a bulletin so we can see how they worship!
While you're away, we'll keep the rhythm of the church going with Morning Prayer and Eucharist, and when you return, we'll be here for you. The life of the church goes on, and there are always open arms waiting for you at St. Antony's.
In parish news, Bill, Melanie, and Chelsea Reeder are in Fort Benning, Georgia for Chad's graduation from Airborne School. Congratulations!
See you Sunday around the Lord's Table!
Bill
