January 2012 Message
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What will 2012 bring for our All Saints’ community? As a parish with a new rector, we are asked to engage in visioning and strategic planning sometime this year. Right now, I am trying to listen and to ask questions about where things are, who usually does what, and what traditions All Saints’ cherishes. I would like to take a few more months of learning about each other before we formally start planning work. I welcome your sharing of your suggestions, your stories about the history of All Saints’, your own experiences, your concerns, and your hopes.
I now have a cell phone for All Saints’ work – the number is 803/318-0833. I am available for appointments Tuesday-Friday, but I have various meetings and groups to attend, so calling ahead for an appointment is definitely necessary.
Several events are coming up – please join us for:
- January 6
- Epiphany Eucharist and pageant at 7pm, followed by King’s Cake
- January 18-25
- Unity Week when many local churches host an evening of prayer. All Saints’ is hosting on Tuesday, January 24 from 6:00-6:30pm. The full schedule will be posted in a Sunday bulletin.
- March 11
- Bishop Andrew Waldo will visit All Saints’ for both services, and at the 10:30am service he will lead a Celebration of New Ministry to formally install me as rector. It will be a festive occasion! I hope you will be there!
Our five-week book study of Bishop N.T. Wright’s book, Evil and the Justice of God, begins on Tuesday, January 10th at 7pm. The book can be ordered from Amazon.com for about $13.00.
Our Tuesday Bible Study group is discussing the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Please join us any week at 11am in the Wyndham Room.
There is a lot going on at All Saints’! Everyone is welcome to participate – please ask me or any All Saints’ member if you have questions about the various groups and activities.
I look forward to this year together, and I hope that at the end of 2012 we can look back and see that we have gathered together in the name of Jesus Christ and found love, hope, comfort, and inspiration.
God’s peace be with you,
Patricia+
