Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
Thank you to Joanne Fay or her wonderful stewardship reflection on, "What St. Francis means to me," from this past Sunday. . .

I want to thank Mark and Debra for inviting me to speak and all of you for
listening to what I have to say. And I want to commend John for his remarks last week. I have a tough act to follow, and I give you fair warning that I won’t be as funny! And while you’re hear a couple of the same themes, I swear I did not pinch from John!
When Mark asked me to talk about what St. Francis means to me, I – like John
(and others!) - think of community or some variation on that theme. But I want
to tee up some observations from a more personal perspective and then step
back and look a little more broadly at the idea of community at St. Francis and St.
Francis in the world. To read more, click here. . .
Link of the Week
Apropos for our observance of Christ the King. The term is anachronistic, and the following video shows how Christ has been imagined throughout the ages. . .
Going Deeper
I think that we know this. Good to be reminded . . .
