ERIN’S EPISTLETTES

• Our mid-week, in-person Eucharist returns next Wednesday, June 5. We'll gather in the Mary Chapel at 6 p.m. first and third Wednesdays. If you'd like to receive email reminders, please let me know. 
• I recently instituted the practice of sharing gratitudes at vestry meetings. I have a few I'd like to share with you. 
  • First, thanks to Bob+ and Karen+ for filling in during my recent vacation, including a trip to Good Shepherd of the Plains, Harrisburg. 
  • Thanks to Stan Eskam for obtaining and installing a part needed for the stove. 
  • Thanks to Bill Mann for coordinating the beautiful work on our summer landscaping project. 
  • And finally, thanks to Beth McKibbin and the Daughters of the King for coordinating our Mother's Day honoring flowers give-away.
