Dear Friends,

I pray you all stayed safe during our most recent tropical storm. If you did not receive the notice of the cancellation of Sunday’s service, please let our office know so that we can make sure you receive important notices in the future.

This weekend, I will be away in Atlanta for the funeral of my uncle Lewis. Pray for him and the many on my mom’s side who are grieving at this time.

I am happy to let you know that our former rector, the Rev. Kathy Schillreff, will celebrate and preach this weekend. For those of you who don’t know, she was my door for getting into the Episcopal Church. In 2014, when I was a Presbyterian pastor, I was called to convert to the Episcopal faith. At the same time, St. Monica’s was looking to hire a youth director. She hired me and I later became a deacon here in 2016. Besides helping me and advising me as I transitioned to the Episcopal Church, she has been a solid friend and colleague. We warmly welcome her back!

Peace and grace,

Fr. Jonathan
