From Your Rector

Welcome back from a time of refreshment and renewal. Taking time out of our regular schedule to visit new places, see new sights, learn or perfect skills, engage in favorite activities or become reacquainted with relatives are important to our overall wellbeing. During the summer, I was blessed to have the opportunity to attend a weeklong conflict mediation training course offered by the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center in suburban Chicago. I am thankful to St. Andrew’s, St. John’s, and the Diocese who helped pay for this training.
I am excited to hear about what each of you has done over the summer.

I am also excited to see everyone back in church again. Our program year begins with a joint picnic with St. John’s here on September 9. We look forward to a visit from Bishop Franklin on October 21 when we will present several folks for confirmation and reception. We look forward to the Ladies Guild Bazaar as well.

Our Café Service continues on the fourth Wednesday evening of each month and will be formally launched this fall. This is a great opportunity for everyone, but especially for folks who might not be ready or able to attend our traditional service on Sundays. Sue Mandaville will also be offering a Mindfulness Workshop on October 20 to help us all be more aware of our experiences as they happen and to be able to connect better with God through mindful meditation.

I invite everyone to participate fully in all our activities and to invite our friends.
