Happy October! The weather is leaning towards autumn and I hope you are enjoying the changing colors of the leaves. Thank you to everyone who turned in an RSVP for October 11, Consecration Sunday. If you did not do so last Sunday, please fill out one this Sunday and put it in the offering plate.

This Sunday our postulant, Jordan Robinson-Delaney, is preaching! As part of Jordan’s formation, she is spending time at St. Mary’s for practical experience, including preaching. I look forward to hearing her words. Thank you to everyone who has donated towards the digital sign. We have claimed all the matched funds, and are just $1335 away

Thank you to everyone who attended the Annual Meeting last Sunday! We had 51 people sign in at the Annual Meeting, and I really appreciate all your voices. We elected Russ to the Vestry, and thanked Diane, John, and Jim for their service. Diane, John and Jim will serve through December, and Russ will join

Some of the highlights include: 4348 people attending services, 54 Adult Ed classes, 33 home communion visits,
