O Lord of all things, in the midst of things temporal,
help us to cherish and abide in the things eternal ☩ in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. Amen.
It really is so good to be back. As I’ve told a few people this week, I love this church and I love my job. On Sunday, April 16, I said that these three months of sabbatical would be a gift, and they were. Thank you for your encouragement and support to take this sabbatical, and thank you for welcoming me back. From what I’ve heard and what I know to be true, the staff was amazing in keeping ministries going strong, the Vestry and Wardens provided solid leadership, your faithfulness and commitment to this parish continued, and Father Tom did an outstanding job. I am grateful for the sabbatical and I am grateful to be back.
