Lots of Things

by Fr. Bill Van Oss

The October/November edition of the Red Door is out! You should have received it in your email inbox or through the mail. Please contact Susan Gonzalez in the office if you did not receive it.


Please take some time to read this latest Red Door. When you do, you will see that we have a lot of exciting things going on, including:

             -A series entitled “Re-Discovering the Episcopal Church.” This Episcopal 101 series is intended for those who are new(er) to The Episcopal Church and anyone who wants to learn more about the basics of the faith. It will be held Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm on Zoom. You can find the link in this Friday Brief.

             -Rev. Alan has taken over leadership of our Healing Ministry and will begin meetings that include a book discussion this month.

             -One of our newer parishioners will lead A Simple Shell Project on Saturday, November 6th  at 1:00 pm. This will be a great opportunity to “Come – Connect- Laugh-Heal.” Who doesn’t need that?

This is just a small sampling of some of the things coming up in October and November. Be sure to thoroughly read the Red Door for details on these offerings and many, many more.


Peace,

Bill+

Moving Forward Updates from Fr. Bill

Hope Rising Update #72

By Fr. Bill Van Oss • December 20, 2023
Today's Excitement Dear Friends, Today was a day to celebrate! LCEC trucks arrived to install the new meter and energize it so the new HVAC system in the sanctuary can be started up! Then a couple hours later, we passed the City of Sanibel final inspection and we were given the Certificate of Completion; the final step in our permit process which started last May. We are very grateful to Councilwoman Holly Smith, City Manager Dana Souza and all the city and LCEC employees who assisted in these final steps and of course to all the FP workers and their subs for all their hard work these past several months and the Property Restoration Team; the working group was there to receive the good news today. We are very busy getting the spaces ready for opening weekend starting with our 4th Advent services this Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 8am and 10:30am (livestreamed). Then we will have 3 Christmas Services at 4pm, 8pm (livestreamed) and 10:30am. Thanks to the volunteer teams who have been washing dishes in the kitchen, putting books on the bookshelf, hanging wreaths and a 100 other details. It is a stunningly beautiful space and we can't wait for all to experience it again for the first time in 15 months! Bill +
