What a treat! At 10:30 a.m. this Sunday, November 3, the congregation of St. James Episcopal will join with the congregation of Perfect Peace Baptist.

At this holy time of year when we remember and give thanks for all the saints over the last 2000 years whose faith and works inspire us on our spiritual journey, we are in the midst of leadership transitions in our Episcopal Church and in our nation.

This morning, as I watch the news from around the Southeast concerning last night’s storms, I am reminded of just how precarious our lives are and how fast our situations can change.

Our pilgrimage continued from Ireland to Brittany, France, another region of Celtic Saints.   Our Holy Eucharist was at St Meriadec’s Church in Stival, a 15th Century Stone structure with frescoes highlighting the life of this 7th Century Celtic Saint, sent from Wales to Brittany.

Tomorrow, September 21, is a special day on our church calendar. It is the day we remember the discipleship and works of St. Matthew. No, not the golf pro at Willow Point, who single-handedly saved my golf game, though I do think of him as a saint.
