Hello Old Donation!
I am glad to be back with you after a week of vacation. Both Chris’s family and my family were in town for Julian’s first birthday and baptism at the Easter Vigil. My favorite picture from our week was of Julian sitting in his booster seat at the table with seven or eight family members all gathered around smiling at him. It warmed my heart to see such an outpouring of love captured in a single image.
But I am also glad to return to our Old Donation family! Tonight, we have our vestry commission meetings with dinner at 6:00pm and meetings following at 6:30pm.
This Saturday, we are bringing back one of our beloved ODEC events, Creations & Libations! Join us from 6:00pm-8:00pm for cheese, chocolates, and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) while we enjoy several of our own artists, who will display their work for us to admire and purchase! 20% of the proceeds will go toward the EYC trip to Philadelphia later this summer.
On Sunday, we are back to our regular schedule with Bob+ in the Gathering and Sundays@5, and me in the Church for the 8:00am and 10:30am services. EYC will meet from 6-7:30pm in Canterbury classroom for dinner, games, and discussion. Please let me know if you plan to attend.
During Adult Formation at 9:30am, Father Bob will discuss transition, and dispelling myths about what his retirement at the end of this year means for Old Donation. Transition does not look the same now as it did even a few years ago, so come with any questions you might have!
See you soon!
Lissie+
