Expressions of Gratitude to the Rev. Canon Lee Ann Tolzmann
The Rev. Canon Lee Ann Tolzmann, Canon for Mission Leadership for the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, will begin a well-deserved retirement at the end of this month, June 2021. Lee Ann has had a profound impact across ECCT helping over 125 parishes secure new clergy leadership during her six years of service. Her vision “Transition is the New Normal” has been transformative in establishing new forms of clergy appointment to meet the challenges of the new missional age. The Episcopal Church in Connecticut is hugely indebted to Lee Ann and gives thanks to God for her faithfulness, wisdom, loving care of individuals and parishes, and her love of Jesus.
We will be collecting expressions of gratitude and well wishes as we send Lee Ann on her way into retirement. Please send emails, cards, and notes to Alison Hollo at The Commons via email, ahollo@episcopalct.org, or via postal mail, "The Commons, The Episcopal Church in Connecticut, 290 Pratt Street, Box 52, Meriden, CT 06450." We will collect these expressions of thanks and present them to Lee Ann on June 30th. The deadline for receiving your emails and notes is Friday, June 25, 2021.
Thank you, Lee Ann!

CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
June 5th, 2021
What a difference a week makes in Bushnell Park! Last Saturday we were bundled in sweatshirts and rain jackets; this Saturday we gathered on a sunny, steamy afternoon.
Rev. Linda Spiers led our congregation of sixteen in prayer today. Her reflection focused on change as portrayed in the readings and asked us to consider changes in our lives that have happened because of the pandemic. A few of us shared how our lives have been changed in this past year.
Our congregation was reminded that we will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of Church By The Pond next Saturday. We are looking forward to being joined by others in celebration.
Trinity United Methodist Church, Windsor provided hearty lunches for our thirty-two guests following the service.

Christ Church Cathedral serves the entire Episcopal Church in Connecticut community for the good of the whole, and is the seat of the bishops. It is "our cathedral." Our Cathedral hosts four congregations in one worshiping community. It's not a parish, as its role is unique in the diocese (see 2015 task force report & resolution). In this its centennial year, Cathedral leaders and Centennial Committee members wish to remind all Episcopalians in CT that by virtue of their membership in a parish, they are members of our Cathedral. All are welcome at any time, and in particular, invited to these events .
