Greetings, Resurrection Parish Family!
I am excited to sojourn with you this summer while Scott and Patty are away from the parish. When Scott asked me two years ago to supply during his sabbatical I jumped at the chance to spend some of my summer in “beautiful downtown Sautee-Nacoochee,” as Scott always says.
As you read in my bio in last week’s newsletter, I have been serving as the chaplain at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School where my husband has been teaching in the upper school and our three children, River, Bailey, and William, have been in attendance. You’ll see them all come and go some this summer with me, though since our kids are 14, 12, and 9, they have lots of camps and activities planned of their own.
I am from north Georgia, Gainesville being my family home. Growing up it was a special treat to drive into the mountains and stop at the Old Sautee Store for some cheese and crackers before making our way through the valley to see the memorial mound then make a stop at Nora Mill. On days when we had extra time, we might take the side path out to Mark of the Potter, specifically instructed to look but not touch! These days my kids are anxious for any opportunity to explore Helen as I did when I was their age but they now add the adventure of the zipline tour. It truly is a blessing to be with you.
In addition to being a chaplain and priest, I also am an author. You can read some of my writing on my blog, prayerfulkithchen.blog and follow this summer as I have more time to write and will be posting more often. This year I published my first book, a novella about the experiences of death and dying titled, Phe and the Work of Death. It’s available online in printed and digital formats.
I tell you of my writing because part of my time with you this summer will be spent exploring storytelling! Together we will share and listen to your stories as part of the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection. Whether you have joined the church just this past year or you are a founding member, your stories about the people of God in this place contribute to the wider story of the church. Stories tell us who we are, who we have been, and who we are becoming.
Join me this Sunday, May 22, during the formation hour so we can get to know each other and I can tell you more about this project we will explore together.
See you Sunday!
