PLAINS speak Summer 2013


Fifth Sundays
     For the past three years, we have enjoyed gathering as one community whenever there’s a fifth Sunday in a month. Recently, we’ve seen a decline in attendance at these celebrations, and would like some feedback from you: should we continue these gatherings? Is there something else we can do to gather as a wider parish? Is there something preventing you from attending? Would carpooling make it easier for you to come?

     Please share your thoughts with either Laura Marie or one of your wardens—we want to continue to meet the spiritual needs of our parish in ways that are beneficial and practical for everyone.

     Please note: our next fifth Sunday takes place on 30 June, and we will be gathering at St. Matthew’s Binscarth for worship at 11 with pot luck to follow.

“Tell Us About the Philippines…”
     Since my return from the PWRDF trip to the Philippines in February, I’ve been asked to tell about my experiences there. Which I am happy to do! I will be making a presentation on the trip: where we went, who we met, what we learned. This will take place during our pot luck following our fifth Sunday worship on 30 June at Binscarth.   
 
How’s Your Vision?
     Please remember the challenge to engage in visioning conversation for our Wider Parish. Who are we, who do we want to be, and how do we get there? Use the 8 focal points identified:    leadership, ministry, spirituality, structures, worship, small groups, evangelism, and relationships.
