MORE JOY!
In July, I wrote a reflection for the Dove titled, “Sparking Joy.” You can find it linked below, "What Sparks Joy?". In it, I asked all y’all to pray and think about what creates, or sparks, joy for you and your family at All Saints. Some of you have responded using the anonymous Google form, some have used the suggestion box in the Narthex, and some have handed me handwritten notes after Sunday worship. Thank you. However, I am hoping to receive much more joy. Specifically, I am looking for one or two-word answers, like “music,” “youth,” or “David.” Again, you can submit your joys to me personally, using the anonymous Google form linked above, or the suggestion box in the narthex.
Admittedly, I am looking for these one or two-word answers for an exercise with the Vestry during our retreat later this month. As the Vestry reflects on our mission, values, goals, and objectives, I would love to use your joys to focus our discussions. Please, think about what at All Saints makes you smile, makes you get in your car and drive to worship on a Sunday, and what makes you proud to be a Saint and a member of this great parish. If you have any questions, please let me know. I look forward to receiving your joys!
Keep the Faith,
