A Note From the Rector
Dear Saints,
This Thursday night I had the privilege to attend the Covenant Community celebration of nine men who have made a journey of transformational change, offering hope not only to themselves but to all of us who bore witness to that achievement this week. Covenant Community represents for us on just one portion of our block what All Saints' is in so many people's lives: a place of life-giving love and a community that is always willing to go the extra mile. Love and transformation - precisely what the church is called to be about. This Sunday, writer and speaker Sophfronia Scott and her son Tain will be with us, sharing their story of hope discovered in the wake of terrible tragedy and loss. I do hope that you will be able to hear something of that story and carry it as a gift into your own life, and into the life that we are so blessed to share together as a church.
With deep thanksgiving for you all,
|
