Weekly News Update

Dear Friends In Christ,


Greetings from Washington DC! This year I have the honored of attending the 68th Annual

North American National Deans Conference, being held at the National Cathedral. Over 80

Deans are gathered from Canada and the United States. I have met a Brit too.


During an orientation, led by the Very Rev Penny Bridges, Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral in

San Diego and Convener of the Deans Conference, it was acknowledged that this church group

tends not to be competitive; rather it is a safe place for people to gather, to share what they

have learned and experience, and to offer support as we engage in ministry together. How

lovely! Then over dinner, I heard similar prayers for the congregations we serve.


Years ago I was told by a wise soul: the world is hard enough out there. With each other, let

us strive to be kind and understanding, as we offer love, forgiveness, and caring support. This is

how we are called to love God and each other. I am grateful for all of you.


Blessings,

Anne Sawyer

Interim Dean & Priest-in-Charge

May is around the corner, so please let us know if you are interested. Preparation would involve 2-3 classes with other interested members. Then, during the service Bishop Taylor would evoke the Holy Spirit by laying his hands on your head.

Community

St. John's Cathedral Quilt


Canon Earl Mounger would like to thank those of you who have added your name to the new quilt project. He says that it is not too late to add your name. The quilt documents members of the cathedral past and present with their place of birth, the year they became a member, and their involvement in parish life. Earl still needs fifteen names to finish the second quilt. Please use the form below and turn into the parish office along with cash or check for $25 to offset production costs.
