This Saturday, we have our Fall Work Day, September 10, in preparation for the Feast of the Holy Wood of the Cross. (September 14th & 18th, Sunday observance). [We still pray that the Conscience of the Thief will be stricken, to return the Relic of the True Cross, & other items taken from the Parish.]The Girl Scouts and Brownies are a new addition. It's good to see the parish continuing to be part of the community.We will do the upstairs projects, & outside work, from 9 to 12, as the downstairs Hall will be occupied by the Girl Scouts, Brownies, and Daisies (10am-12n). When they have gone, we will break for lunch, and then attend to downstairs projects.
"On the whole, I do not find Christians, outside the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of the conditions. . . . It is madness to wear ladies' straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they should lash us to our pews." -- Annie Dillard
