Food for Thought
Another great vestry reflection. This month it is Jane Lazgin. Thank you, Jane!

Last month we listened to Susanne so vividly describe the feelings and sights of
September. Now, colder weather is upon us, and we don’t know what this winter
will bring. So before Rich and I bring in the outdoor furniture and batten down
for winter, I’d like to invite you on a virtual tour of our screened back porch in
summer 2020. This is my Nirvana, my epi-center of happiness from May through
October, 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM every day. It’s as close to nature as one can get
without mosquitoes! I feel immensely fortunate to have this space. To read more, click here. . . And see the images HERE . . .

An interview with Marilynne Robinson on theology, predestination, and mystery that is wonderfully rich and evocative. . .
