As many of you know, our Rector, The Rev. Martha Macgill, began her sabbatical last Sunday. We sent her off for several months of rest, refreshment, and nourishment. In her absence, our Associate Rector, will tend to pastoral and liturgical matters. Senior Warden Alma Bell and Junior Warden Steve Howard along with the vestry will take care of any business matters that should arise. On Sunday we gave Martha a gardening bag to nourish her new spring garden and books to nourish her soul. Please keep Martha and her family in your prayers.
Our Prayer for Martha:
As a family of Christians, we proclaim our love for God, Jesus, and one another. As a family of Christians, we send out Martha on a journey of faith. As a family of Christians we know that time and distance do not separate us from love for one another in Christ. As a family of Christians, we pray, dear God, that you will bless Martha, Bryan, Jack and Anna and this congregation during this sabbatical, so that we all may grow in faith. We ask this in the name of Christ, who connects us all in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Martha's blessing for us:
The path you walk, Christ walks it. May the lands in which you travel be without sorrow. May the Trinity protect you wherever you stay, Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Bright angels walk with you, dear presence, in every dealing. Favorable company, be with you. May you arrive at every place, may you return home. May every path before you be smooth; man, woman and child welcome you. A truly good journey. And the blessing of God Almighty, Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer be with you this day, now and always. Amen.
