News from the Household of Canterbury
Albuquerque Faithworks is Hiring a Social Worker!
Canterbury is part of a coalition of local churches that are teaming up to hire a social worker to support the churches' homeless outreach efforts. The group has received funding from various churches, written a mission statement, has attained 501(c)3 status, and is ready to hire the social worker. See the posting here. Thanks to Sally Barlow, Anne McCormick and Bob Moriarty, who have supported the startup of this collaborative.
Collecting YOUR stories of belonging to Canterbury!
Thanks to Ruth Meredith, we are collecting ‘foundation’ stories to use as a guide in creating our mission statement and to post on the Church website for potential Rectors and members to read. The stories based on the prompts below represent the ways our lives are connected to each other and to God to form the foundation of Canterbury community.
Pick one of the story prompts. Write a very short [150 word max] story telling us about your experiences related to that prompt. Send your story [and a photo* if available] to Ruth ruthmrdth@gmail.com

Join the Canterbury Choir!
Fred Frahm writes: You are invited to join a choir being newly formed at Canterbury. My plan is to add choral music for the season of Easter at the 10 AM Eucharist. This ensemble will rehearse regularly on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7:30 PM, and again on Sunday mornings from 9:10 to 9:35 AM. The choir will not be vested and will sit as usual with the congregation until they are called to gather at the appointed place to sing their anthem. Read more about this opportunity here!
