| HAPPY SPRING! |
FROM THE RECTOR
Friends,
Unfortunately
one of my email accounts has been hacked. Please ignore any email from me
asking for a favor, money, gift cards, etc. and know that I would never make
such a request via email. The purpose of the Rector's Discretionary Fund is to
cover the needs of parishioners or community members in need and it typically
has an adequate balance. Any time you receive such a request please let me
know, and do not send money or gift cards, or worry that I am in need. Best
practice is to delete such an email without responding.
I am so
sorry this has happened!
I am off this week, April 19-26. Please contact our Sr. Warden, Patti Rau, at 603-326-8098 if you have a pastoral emergency while I’m off, I'm having foot surgery on Friday, May 23. I’ll be on crutches (or a knee scooter!) and unable to drive for six weeks as it’s my right foot. My sister will come the day after surgery to help me for the first several days. Please pray for patience and grace for me following surgery. I’m grateful that Zoom and email will allow me to continue to work regular hours and stay in touch with all of you.
This Sunday while I'm away Lisa, Gretchen and Cathie will lead Morning Prayer. The Zoom link will be the same as all of our Sunday services.
Blessings,
Caroline
Brian was inspired by Marge Piercy’s poem. He gave this
framed copy for the kitchen to confirm and support the Dinner Bell cook teams
whose service to others is selfless and real, as was Brian’s to all those in
need.
