Electricity Restored to the Church on Friday, Sept. 17th |
|
At approximately noon on Friday, Sept. 17th, electricity was restored to the church campus. Regularly scheduled services and programming will take place this weekend, including Janet Cutshall Parker's funeral at 10:30 am on Saturday, Sept. 18th.
Hurricane Nicholas tested the roof, gutter, and building repairs done on our campus this year. All was well thanks to the leadership and attentiveness of Junior Warden Mark Lehnhoff. Thanks also to Senior Warden Cathy Richardson and Vestry member Ron Weeks for being “first on the scene” along with Mark the morning after the storm to check on the buildings and do a bit of water clean-up at a few thresholds. Soon the ARM was on campus, clearing debris from the church yard.
Many of the Shepherds, as they are able, are contacting and checking in on parishioners. Some are still without electricity, but please respond to your Shepherd if they are able to contact you. Also, should you have a pastoral need during this time, contact the church office or Cathy Richardson. We are here for one another and our neighbors.
Continue to pray for all affected by natural and man-made disasters, for first responders, and all the folks restoring electricity to our communities. I give thanks for you and for the ministries which you faithfully carry out, especially in challenging times.
In Christ,
The Rev. Genevieve Razim
Interim Rector

You are invited to join our sewing project to brighten the day for kids at MDA Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. We will be sewing cute hospital gowns for donated BUILD-A-BEAR bears. Other volunteers will be sewing other bear clothes, so the bear will have a full wardrobe. Our goal is to complete at least 35 gowns by the end of September.

- Gigi Janeshek for helping to organize the fabric.
- Jackie Koch for helping to locate and move the tables.
Stop by and check it out!

On Sunday, August 29, sixteen years after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Ida made landfall in the same region. This Category 4 storm brought flooding and damaging winds that caused a loss of water to hundreds of thousands and a loss of electricity to over 1 million people. Episcopal Relief & Development is working closely with the Diocese of Louisiana and other regional partners in what will be a long-term response. Your generous gift will help alleviate suffering for the most vulnerable residents impacted by Hurricane Ida. Please visit episcopalrelief.org/hurricane-relief to make a gift today. |
