FAITH STORY
"I Believe in Angels"
"Good Morning, My name is Marti Villarreal. A little background: I am a cradle Episcopalian with several lapses. I have been active in the parishes where ever I have lived: Augusta, GA, Columbia, SC and Washington, DC; St. Augusta in SW and here. Our family has been at St. Columba's since 1978, but this story begins earlier in 1963. I was 27. I came to DC from Columbia, SC in early 1963 which is ancient history for many of you; it was before the Civil Rights Act, also probably before cell phones ..."

One Journey Festival
One: as in unity and connection.
Journey: as in, destination and voyage of humanity.
One Journey Festival celebrates the talents, stories and contributions of refugees and other displaced people around the world. This family-friendly festival brings people together through our modern-day shared languages of humanity: art, food, music, dance, storytelling and technology.
One Journey's mission is to celebrate and amplify the voices of refugees, engaging people to connect, learn, and become enduring allies of those who are displaced. We’ve charted a movement to inspire all to see the impact and shed a positive light on refugees, and to take action on building welcoming communities for our displaced brothers and sisters.
The second annual One Journey Festival takes place on
Sat., June 29,
11 am - 6 pm, on the lawn of Washington National Cathedral (3101 Wisconsin Ave NW) - rain or shine.

Thank you to my St. Columba Family ...
I want to thank you all so much for such a wonderful send off on June 16!
It was a great day with wonderful worship, and special thanks to Anne Timpane and the choir for the personal anthem. The Palooza was awesome with my favorite foods and an ice cream truck, dreams do come true! I also want to thank Jennifer Turner and those who helped her for organizing the outside activities and Barbara McGowan for the memory book. Words can’t describe how touched and overwhelmed I was by this incredible outpouring of love. The notes, emails and calls I have received have been lovely and truly appreciated. It was a privilege and a pleasure to serve all God’s children at St. Columba’s, and I will hold you in my prayers daily.
Thank you all so much and God bless.
