Christ Church, Whitefish Bay has called The Rev. Seth Dietrich as their new rector. Seth came to the parish as an assistant in 2007, under The Rev. Lee Downs. Lee retired in 2009, and Seth served as the priest-in-charge for two years. Within the last six months, both Seth and the parish engaged in an intensive discernment with the help of the diocese. In his acceptance letter to the vestry's call, Seth writes:
"It has been an honor to be a part of your story thus far. And I am humbled beyond words that you would ask me to be a part of the next chapter as your rector...The Holy Spirit, poured out at Pentecost, moves our sacred story forward. How will the next chapter unfold? What kind of mysteries and adventures await? I am overjoyed that we will write this next part together. "
A service for the Celebration of New Ministry will be held on the Feast of St. Francis, October 4th, 2011 at 5:30pm. The Rt. Rev. Steven Miller presiding; The Rev. Drew Bunting preaching; our resident Bagpipers will be piping. All are welcome.

"Art as Prayer" Workshop offered at Christ Church, Delavan
August 17 (7:00-8:30 pm)
Assemblage: A 3-dimensional artistic, often eclectic, composition made from putting together found objects. In this "Art as Prayer" Meditation Workshop, artist Roberta Karstetter uses found objects in ways that create sacred spaces, and offers art, as meditative prayers, in a conscious connection to the Creator, often in a new and unique way to reflect the divine. For centuries, groups have used art as a way to communicate with and about God: Navaho Native Americans created sandpaintings as ritualistic healing and cleansing of evil spirits. The word for art in most Native American languages is synonymous with the word for prayer.
For more information in taking part in this meditative workshop, contact Christ Church at (262) 728-5292 or christchurch@pensys.com . ALL are welcome! Bring a friend!
