Reflections

Friends and Saints,

 

After the snowfall and water issues two weeks ago, my prayer was for the next week to be normal week. And that week was pleasantly average, but this week … not so much.

 

Sometime late Sunday night or early Monday morning, both of our boilers failed. The heat throughout our building is not working at all and the technicians tell us that both boilers need to be replaced. While we will gather for worship this Sunday, the preschool has closed for the remainder of the week and most meetings and events hosted in the building have been moved or postponed. To protect the building, heaters have been set up in strategic spots and faucets are dripping to keep the pipes from freezing. We are working to find a temporary boiler that could be installed before Sunday. Permanent replacements will be installed later.

 

Obviously, this is … chilling news (har de har har). However, God has blessed us with the resources to meet this challenge. The Vestry, the Building and Grounds Committee, the Finance Committee, the Endowment Board, and others will put our heads together to figure out how to fund this repair. I am very grateful to Tyronn, the Wardens, Jim McCauley, Chris Bruch, and others for their work. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

 

Maybe next week will be better. Maybe it won’t. But I know we will meet this challenge, and the next, and the next, together as All Saints.

 

Keep the Faith,

Ben+
