Hello faith family! See the Carpenter’s Helper newsletter for the week of August 2, 2020. In it you will receive a lovely blessing, and read about an experience using the Forward Day by Day (the new edition is in!).
This is our newsletter: please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. And, your letters, stories, and articles are welcome! Any art or poetry you’d like to share? How about a book or movie review (church appropriate).
Also, see the most recent edition of our Diocese weekly newsletter titled The Net, as well as the quarterly magazine, the Communion.
Tomorrow is the last day to participate in the Great EpisGOpal Race. St. Thomas’s team, the Soul Surrenderers, has positively been crushing goals! I’m excited to share the final round-up next week. Thank you to all those who have sent in their progress. Please share any pics even if it’s just your shoes. And, if you still want to join in – you can! It’s as easy as taking a short walk around the block this evening and sending me a text or email. Together, we can literally do marathons! Sign up using the sign-up genius.
