Flowers by our Flower Guild for the Friends of Canterbury Dinner on Sunday evening, October 24th

Dear Friends,

Thanks to the volunteers who worked so hard on Sunday evening for the Friends of Canterbury Dinner. It was a roaring success! Especially thanks to Susan Gregory for volunteering to organize and coordinate this effort.

I am on my fall retreat and hiding away in a "hermitage" in where else, the mountains of western North Carolina. This has been a very full year and I am due for a bit of a retreat. This time each year, as most of you know fuels me in my faith and inspires me in my calling. I also am working on a completed draft of my PhD dissertation. This work has suffered the last couple of years with all the other obligations I have taken on. I am committed to finishing this work and already have made some significant progress in the last eight hours. So I ask your prayers for inspiration, renewal and refreshment. If you have a pastoral need please contact Pastor Robin (email: robin@incarnationoviedo.com / cell: 952-201-6958)

We have begun our Stewardship Season and I hope you will join me in praying for our provision and funding to do all we are called to do. Pledge Cards are available on the back table at the chapel or you can contact Shelly and she can email you a form. (shelly@incarnationoviedo.com).

I feel I say this a lot but will say it again - I am so very blessed to be the Vicar at Incarnation - it fills me with joy and I rejoice in this calling...

in the mission of the Kingdom,
Fr. Jon
