From the Vicar:
I want to be sure everyone knows about upcoming events surrounding the Ordination of our new Bishop.
Here are some opportunities to participate. Here is some information from the Diocese for us:
Soon the Diocese of Olympia will welcome the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, Michael Bruce
Curry, who is visiting in relation to the Ordination and Consecration of our Bishop-Elect Philip N. LaBelle.
As we gear up to welcome The Most Reverend Bishop Curry and other visitors from near and far, we would
like to encourage your attendance and suggest carpools for those interested in attending these special and
holy events.
- The Most Reverend Bishop Curry will preside over the Ordination and Consecration of The Rev. Dr.
Philip N. LaBelle at The Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, September - This momentous event begins at 11:00 a.m. and truly will be a once in a lifetime experience for many of
us. RSVP was requested by August 30 but is not required. All are welcome!
- Our new Bishop for the Diocese of Olympia, Phil LaBelle, will be Seated at St. Mark’s Cathedral on
Sunday, September 15 during Evensong, beginning at 4:30.
For those who are interested in attending either of the events, carpools are highly encouraged. Let’s talk
among ourselves to figure out who wants to attend which event(s) and figure out our carpools.
Additional information about the events may be found on the Diocese of Olympia website here.
I will be in Colorado on Sunday, Sept. 8, but will be back soon.
See you next week,
Joseph+
Spotlight on Outreach:
We are kind of “in between” outreach projects this month. We can all be glad that we have contributed to
Shoreline Back to School and look forward to making cookies for Veterans in November. And we can
always look forward to the next baby shower!
Interested in serving as lay reader and/or chalice bearer?
We could use some more people interested in this service to the church and community! Please let Fr.
Joseph know if you are interested.
Please let Miriam know about prayer requests!
If anyone wants to join the prayer chain or wants to ask the prayer chain to pray for something, please let
Miriam know. As Miriam invited us a few weeks ago during Sunday church service, thanksgivings are also
welcome and encouraged! Her email is ladymiriam42@gmail.com and her phone is 206 376-4985.
