Friends,
Last Sunday, the inaugural St. Christopher’s Cafe was a success. Thank you to Paul Clark, Jen Enriquez, and our Youth Leaders for providing this opportunity for fellowship, coffee, and connection.
Additionally, Marilyn Huebel and Emily Culbertson provided the morning services with an update from the Search Committee. Last Monday, our Search Committee moved into the most confidential, exciting, and difficult part of the search - beginning candidate interviews! For the weeks ahead, updates from our Search Committee will primarily be the same four words, “we are interviewing candidates.” I ask that you keep our Search Committee in your prayers as they do this important work on behalf of all of us.
As we prepare for summer, there are important celebrations for you to get on your calendar. On Saturday, May 20th, we will gather at the Cathedral at 11AM for a service of confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation. We will recognize our candidate’s commitments to continuing on the journey of faith at coffee hour the following Sunday, May 21st. Also, on the 21st, all formation opportunities come to a close for the summer. After the 11:00 service, our monthly Shanahan’s Shenanigans gathers for food, drink, and conversation. Folks will arrive hungry and thirsty around 12:30PM.
On Sunday, May 28th, Pentecost is celebrated at all three services, and we will congratulate our graduating seniors. The following Sunday, we participate in Oak Park’s Day in Our Village on June 4. Then on Sunday, June 11, we officially kick off summer with our annual Parish Picnic. There will be one service at 10AM with eating and fellowship immediately following!
I look forward to seeing you Sunday!
Faithfully,
Kevin
