Father Chuck 60Bday
I am so deeply grateful for the attention I received from so many of you for my 60th birthday! Many of us will have "COVID 19 Birthday" memories. Mine will be filled with the excitement of stepping out in the front yard to great birthday signs, and then standing as people drove by in a car decorated parade, shouting congratulations and tossing cards and forget-me-nots in a landing net Chris and Caroline handed me. What an experience of sheer joy! Christian community is happening in wild and creative ways right now, and this one was remarkable. I love you all and appreciate you! -Fr. Chuck

This Sunday, May 31, also marks the 30th anniversary of Father Chuck's ordination.
