This coming Sunday we offer Leave-Taking Prayers for Canon Smythe+ and for Sylvia Smythe. While Sylvia will remain with us through Christmas to lead Bell Choir and Vestry, Sylvia and Colville are a unitary being, and so we will pray for them together.
Come bid formal adieu to one of the fine priests of the Episcopal Church, who has served us so well and faithfully these eleven years past.
Our Bishop Suffragan Diane Jardine Bruce will be with us to preside at the Confirmation or Reception of eleven people into the Episcopal Church as they embrace the duties of serving Christ in this branch of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Sheree and Brian Tyler are wonderfully sponsoring a Taco Feast following our liturgy this coming Sunday!
Faithfully,
GFW+
