Dear Folks,
No matter who we voted for, I
think we can all agree with the Grateful Dead, "What a long strange
trip it's been."
The church will be open today for
prayer and mediation and I will be available if anyone feels the
need to chat. I plan on hanging around until 6:30 P.M.
After that, you can call me either on my cell or land line.
This Sunday's scripture is Isaiah
65:17-25. The sermon is "Get Out of the Way".
We will be starting the Pumpkin
and Holly Fair set-up after worship. All hands on deck!!
A reminder that we will be taking
a non-perishable food collection during the holiday season.
The box is the Alcove or you can use the Wishing Well in Fellowship
Hall.
On November 20, we will be taking
a free-will offering following worship for "The Master's
Table". Master's Table Community Meals, Inc. provides a safe,
clean, uplifting environment for individuals in need. They offer
their guests hope for a better future. Every person who comes for
assistance is welcomed regardless of race, sex, age, color,
national origin, religious preference, social needs, disability, or
income. Master's Table serves the poor, hungry, and the lonely by
providing healthy nutritious and appetizing meals to all who come.
Free meals are served at the Assumption Church in Ansonia.
The Shelton Clergy Association's
Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service will be held on Tuesday, November
22, 7 P.M. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. I will be
preaching. Following the service will be a time of refreshment
featuring pumpkin desserts. A donation of non-perishable goods will
benefit the Valley Food Bank. Monetary donations will benefit
I.R.I.S., the Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services.
I would like to close with this
quote from the Christian mystic, Julian of Norwich,
circa 1342-1416:
"All shall be well, all shall be
well...
For there is a force of love
moving through the universe
that holds us fast and will never
let us go."
So be it!!
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
