To those who have been away for a while . . .

Dear Friends in Christ -

Yesterday I was leafing through the parish directory to find a phone number when I noticed names of a few people whom I haven't seen in church recently. This wave came over me . . . It took me a second to name the feelings present in it - wistfulness, sadness, longing.

To those who haven't been around much lately (I would list your names here, but I wouldn't want anyone to feel embarrassed!), please know that I MISS YOU! Others at St. Paul's miss you, too. And not only that, GOD misses you.

If you've been away a while, please come to church. Don't wait 'til Christmas. Rich blessings are happening NOW, and you're missing out! I want so badly for you to receive the good things God has for you here.

Blessings,
Janet+

PS - Sometimes people who have been away from church for weeks or months or years need a personal connection to help them "get back in." If you've got something on your mind or heart that you would like to talk about, please drop me a note at revjanet@stpaulsct.org or give me a call at 203-929-1722.
