Water balloons flew during Sunday School last Sunday as one of King David’s contre-temps say re-inaction. Very animated and briefly wet children about! One blessing of 100 degree temps is that the young’uns wring out and dry without being hung up on a clothes line.
We offered Leave-Taking prayers for Josh and Melissa Keaney and their little ones Grace and Shay, as they resettle (in a dandy house!) in Sacramento. They have been so instrumental in parish life. Youth Director Heather Blackstone, her husband (who assists in Sunday School) Antonio Bartolome, Alipio and the Keaneys, joined the Rector for a send off brunch at El Portal (which is remarkably busy for Sunday brunch…and with good reason). I forgot to take a picture, alas. Prayer traveling mercies for the Keaney’s in their resettlement.
Thirty plus Summer Socials are unfolding. Everyone is having quite a good time, and facing down summer heat with aplomb and Christian charity.
Next Sunday join us for informal walk-throughs of the renovated rectory after each liturgy. Our new tenants establish themselves August 1st.
Faithfully,
GFW+
