A good day

Dear Friends in Christ -

It was a good day. It started right at about 9:00 a.m. - with the fixin's for meatball subs arriving in the kitchen and people working around the old Church - raking leaves on the outside, cleaning things in the sacristy on the inside.

Now I'm sitting here, a little sore and a lot sunburned (from a good long time spent raking leaves this afternoon) and very content. God has blessed us here at St. Paul's with so much. It's actually a privilege and joy to work together to take care of it. I feel sort of the same way every month when I write checks to pay the student loans that my husband and I accrued in graduate school - grateful. It's such a blessing to do the work we're called to do that it's worth it.

There were 30 or so of us who banded together today to do this good work. If you were here, THANK YOU. If you weren't, I'm sorry you missed out. Hope you'll join us next year.

Faithfully,
Janet+
