Sandy McBeth

We will celebrate our parish feast day of All Saints this Sunday. The appointed readings are pregnant with themes of stark contrast: death and life, condemnation and redemption, sorrow and joy, suffering and relief, present life and future life. Such is life, too, as baptized children of God. The very nature of our lives is of stark contrast.

By virtue of our baptism into the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are made saints while we are still sinners. Every day in this nautically juxtaposed life we navigate through rough waters such as sin, evil, pain, heartache, addiction, abuse, hunger, disease, and war. But our bearing is always set, not by the North Star but by the Daystar, who has been the heading for the faithful of every generation. With the scriptures as our compass and the confessions our map, we sail as a part of the great flotilla of saints on the waters of baptism, with the wind of the Spirit at our backs, always pointed in the direction of our guiding Daystar.

Sunday we will give thanks for the saints who have gone before us, for the saints still among us, and for the saints of God still to come. We give thanks for the examples of faithful living that the saints have given us as they navigated the stormy waters of life, and for the faithful acts of service we are empowered by God's Holy Spirit to do in our own seas. We give thanks, too, for the fullness of eternal life in which the saints of God who have gone before us now partake and which we have yet to fully enjoy. [Sundays and Seasons, 2017]

For All the Saints,

P.S. Kay and I leave will be on pilgrimage with a group visiting the Church in Jordan and the Holy Land much of November. We will be back in worship for Christ the King Sunday, November 26th. Should you have a pastoral emergency, please contact Deb in the church office or Don Holm our Senior Warden.

Audit Team Volunteers Needed

The Lakes Region Convocation of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire is seeking volunteers from each parish to be willing to participate on audit teams to assist one another. The Diocese requires annual audits and staff typically conduct parish audits every three years. Please speak with Art Slocum or Pastor Bill if you would like to serve or have questions.

ECW Fall Ham & Bean Dinner

The Ham & Bean Dinner photos were taken at this year's event on Oct. 28th.

We would like to thank all who had a part in making this a successful event.

Sincerely,

Gail Holm and Dianne Wasmuth, ECW co-chairs

Sandy McBeth

The above photo of Sandy McBeth was taken July 9th.

Sandy McBeth will leave for Amelia Island, near Jacksonville, Florida, on Nov. 15th.

Sandy was born in Melrose, Ma. and has been a life long Episcopalian. As a teen she worked in the dining hall of the old Point Breeze with All Saints member Henry Stevens. Our Stevens room was named for Henry.

Sandy has lived and worked in several different locations in the United States. At one time she owned an interior design company in Denver, Colorado. She has two boys, one who is studying to become an Episcopal Priest, and another son who is a professor at Cornell University and teaches Project Management and Architecture. She has been blessed with 3 grandchildren.

Several years ago Sandy and her youngest son traveled around the world on a 65 foot sail boat. Sandy said it was an amazing adventure.

Sandy settled in Wolfeboro in the late 1980's to be near her mother. She then became a real estate agent for Mayfield for twenty-three years until she retired.

Community outreach and the genuine friendly congregation are important reasons why Sandy loves All Saints. Sandy stated that she misses All Saints in the winter when she is in Florida.

Sandy is involved in many facets of our parish life, and will be missed during the winter. We look forward to her return to worship with us next spring.

In the photo below Sandy and Penny Curtis help with the ham and bean dinner on Oct. 28th.
