I am still basking in the beauty of our Christmas together at Holy Spirit.  From the music to the decorations, to all the shared festivities, it was an amazing time to rejoice in the coming of our Jesus.  Merry Christmas everyone.

As we turn our attention to the new year ahead, I anticipate all that is coming up.  I have been emailing today with the Bishop's office about a dedication date for our Nave and as soon as I have confirmation I will excitedly share it.  I was in the space today with the Building Committee, architects, and construction company and it is truly amazing what has been taking place.  I cannot wait for the space to be available to show you!

Tomorrow, I ask that you pray for our staff as we will head off campus for a full day of planning and anticipation for this spring and next fall.  Lent will be here in just over a month.  We have a great deal of programs coming up.   Our Parish Annual Meeting will take place January 28 and our Vestry will go on retreat soon after.  We find ourselves in a moment when so many things are becoming new and we also find ourselves still trying to re-ignite much that we were unable to do in the fall because of Harvey.  Stay tuned for some restart events as well as ways we will continue to take care of our neighbors affected by the storm.

Finally, if you have not had a chance to fill out your 2018 pledge to support Holy Spirit's ministry, please do.  Our annual stewardship campaign has lingered due to our late start after Harvey and we need your support as we try to finish our budget.  You can now pledge online and there is a link below.  Please be a part of the ministry of Holy Spirit by pledging financial support this year. 

This is going to  be a great year!  I look forward to sharing with you all that God has in store for us!
