This Week at St. Alban's

Monday, October 1, 2018
Dear all,
Greetings from Boston, where I'm hanging out with my nephew and his family before heading to Martha's Vineyard for the week ahead. I worshipped at St. James', Cambridge yesterday, where they are just starting an even bigger capital project than ours (and they pass the peace to everyone, just like we do!). So, if you are weary of all the building dust, know that you are not alone!
Speaking of our capital campaign, please mark your calendars for an update on the project: Sunday, October 7 after worship (and with First Sunday brunch!). We'll be talking about both the capital campaign and the creation of a new non-profit serving local musicians.
Dinner with Albany is this week. Please contact Sondra Lavrov for a seat at the table!
Have a beautiful week. I look forward to seeing you in a bit over a week.
In love and gratitude,
Rev. Julie
