Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
Thomas Keating (1923-2018) was a Trappist monk who became a leader in the Christian Centering Prayer (meditation) movement.
Fr. Thomas Keating's talk in Folsom, CA 12/17/99 with a group of prisoners who practice Centering Prayer discusses how in it we receive a kind of divine therapy in which God offers us our basic goodness and his love and forgiveness, we see the dark side of our personality and try to recover the likeness of God, and deep wounds from our past are allowed to come to consciousness and depart.
Together Again & Mark's Sendoff
What a Joyful Hour we spent following the 10:00 AM service on Sunday, April 24th! In true St. Francis style, we celebrated being Together Again, and gave our beloved Rector, Mark Lingle, a happy Sabbatical send-off. 
There were treats, surprises, smiles and lots of tissues. Nicole, Jim & Richard provided us with a wonderful selection of songs and piano accompaniment. Margie showered him with a bagful of trinkets as we bid Mark a “bon voyage”.
