UPDATES on the BUILD the SERVING CHURCH CAMPAIGN

On Gratitude

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

John F. Kennedy

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

Melody Beattie

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

Psalm 136:1

'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. 'Thank you' expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.

Alice Walker

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

Aesop

Happy Thanksgiving!

This time of year, we want you to know how grateful we are for you, the campaign donors. Without you, we could not move forward with the capital campaign and all that God has called us to in this time and place. We asked you what you're grateful for this year. Here are your responses.

"I am grateful for the loving and generous hearts of the parishioners, for the joy that is characteristic of our community, for our willingness to do the hard thing and serve those who are challenging, for beautiful worship, for an amazing bunch of colleagues and leaders."

The Rev. Paige Blair, rector of St. Peter's, Del Mar

"I am grateful for my spiritual home, St. Paul's, the cathedral church of our diocese, which has brought me so much more than I ever thought possible."

Dr. Don Pellioni, parishioner at St. Paul's Cathedral

"I'm grateful for Edward Harrison's mentoring of me as an intern, lay associate, transitional deacon, and new priest. He has affirmed, empowered, and developed my gifts for ministry, giving me the freedom and security to take meaningful risks, and treating me as a partner and peer all along the way."

The Rev. Mike Stone, associate at Christ Church, Coronado

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy Thanksgiving,
