Finding God
in the Absurd
From the Editor's Desk
"If you are like me, you've stopped wondering what will happen next because you just assume something even more absurd might be on it's way."Read more from the Editor.
"God’s vision is an absurd one because it is not how our current structures to global society work, most certainly at macro levels."Read more from Rev. Richard.
"Imagine also—entering off the parking lot into a welcoming outdoor hub with shade trees and sitting walls in the current location of the main play yard. By relocating the play equipment to the grassy area of our campus, families will be able to enjoy the labyrinth, as well as watch their children from the new covered patio area outside the Parish Hall."Read more from our Senior Warden.
Education Notes by Erin O'Brien

Music Notes by Virginia Sublett
"Like many, if not most, of you, I went through a significant time of grieving over everything that has been lost, who knows for how long. I still haven’t come to the acceptance stage, but along with my dear friends at St. Andrew’s and elsewhere, especially those in the Adult Choir, I am learning new ways of adaptation."Read more from Virginia.
The Tale of 3 Pianos by Connie McIntire
"Finding a little absurd humor in my house has proven to be God's healing and keeps us moving forward."Read more from Connie.
