Six Episcopal faith communities are meeting August 12 at 7 pm to explore the Community of Hope program and talk about making commitments to set up multi-congregational based training center in the Madison Area. St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 1833 Regent St, Madison, will be hosting this meeting. People from St. Andrew's, St. Dunstan's, Good Shepherd, St. Luke's, and Grace Churches as well as St. Francis House will be gathering as foundational organizations for a Community of Hope which will be open to all churches.
Community of Hope is a 14-session program to train people in pastoral care rooted in Benedictine spirituality. After clarifying their ministry and training in caring for others, participants in this program go on to minister in hospitals, homes, prisons, with youth, with the homeless and more.
If you are interested in this program, get more information and attend this meeting. More information about Community of Hope is available at www.coh-international.com and from Barb Lentz at jandb1624@sbcglobal.net .

The Ven. Thomas F. Winslow, Chaplain to Bishop Miller, has just returned from Norwalk, Connecticut where he took part in "Patriot Days," which is celebrated once very 5 years.  This year was the 230th anniversary of the burning of Norwalk by the British in the midst of the Revolutionary War.  Tom serves as chaplain to Sheldon's Horse - 2nd Light Dragoons, a re-enactment of a Revolutionary War troop that served in the Continental Army.  Tom joined the unit in 2006 after learning that he is a descendant of Lemuel Cook, the last surviving member of Sheldon's Horse, who died in 1866 at the age of 107!  The photo shows Tom with another member of the unit, Rick Sarvas.  In the bottom photo, Tom has switched from chaplains garb to the uniform of the mounted troopers.

Go back in time to the days of WWII at St. Alban's in Sussex on Sunday August 16.  In cooperation with the community's living time-line, St. Alban's will doing an authentic Episcopal Holy Communion Service persons serving in the military would have experienced during WWII.  This service comes from the actual book of worship and prayers given to soldiers and sailors from that era; an abbreviated edition will be given to all who attend to take home with them.  The booklet not only contains the Holy Communion Service but other prayers for persons serving in the military.  This special service will also feature WWII re-enactors, special blessings for WWII veterans, as well as lifting up those who served in WWII and are serving our country today.  Time of service: 7:45am.  History buffs, WWII veterans and/or their families are welcome to join us and experience living history through living worship!  For more information contact St. Alban's at 262-246-4430 or visit www.stalbans-sussex.org .
