All of you are preparing the soil, and I want to thank you and honor you for this. You work hard for each other and for this parish. You serve on vestry, commissions, altar guild, flower guild, and serve as lay Eucharistic ministers, and serve in a variety of other ways. You visit the sick and care for the lonely of our parish. You prepare the soil in many ways for this parish. JayDean 2005-07-12T23:53:13-08:00
