Greetings! 

Martin Luther King's words from his prophetic "Letter from the Birmingham City Jail," have helped me in these days after the tragedy in Tuscon that has so affected the nation:  "I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. . . .  Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny."

Tomorrow in the Forum at 10:10, we will study King's letter, and if you'd like to read it beforehand, you can find it here. 

The regional food pantry Philabundance, which does so much to combat hunger in our area, is in great need of supplies now that the holiday blitz of donations is over.  We will hold a food drive for Philabundance on Sundays January 23rd and 30th.  Details and your shopping list below.

Annual Meeting Sunday for our parish is Sunday, February 6.  We have one service at 10 AM, followed by the Annual Meeting at 11:15 AM where we will elect new vestry members, receive important reports on the state of our parish, and hear what I expect will be a very exciting announcement.  Come out the day before, Saturday February 5, 8:30 AM to Noon, for Parish Work Day, so we can make our church beautiful and ready for the meeting. 

Later Sunday afternoon, February 6, at 3 PM, is the institution of the Rev. Susan Richardson as fifth rector of Grace St. Paul's Church in Mercerville, New Jersey.
