A generously spirited Episcopal Church on the coast of Maine
,

There is nothing like carrying St. Alban's spirit out into the world!  I am blessed to travel today with seven others from your parish to St. Luc's School in Trou du Nord, Haiti, carrying your love and generosity in our hearts and in our luggage.  

 

We ask that you pray for this ministry with extra care in the days ahead, and watch for our words and images posted on St. Alban's FaceBook page. It is such a privilege to represent you in this mission...I hope you share in our joy and confidence that we are building deep connections, connections that change lives.

 

In my absence, the Rev. Kelly will be preaching, teaching, celebrating and caring with you as only she can! Please give her and all our gifted team all your support and encouragement. We are blessed by a strong parish, guided by the Spirit.

 

Godspeed,

Tim+

Annual Meeting

Our St. Alban's  Annual Meeting was held this past Sunday and it was fruitful, efficient, and as many noted...one of the best! In addition to good fellowship and a short video on parish life, we reviewed 2014 and plans for 2015, and elected  Vestry members, Officers and Convention delegates. Our Treasurer provided a thorough and encouraging report on the 2014 and 2015 budgets, and the Rector reported on our ongoing ministries.  

Celtic Eventide Service this Sunday at 5:30
This Sunday...a quiet alternative to the pre-game show, Celtic Eventide at St. Alban's, at 5:30 PM. All are welcome. Casual, quiet with Celtic music, contemplative prayer and an Open Table. Come as you are, God's embrace is wide. A short hour of gracious prayer.   
"Souper" Bowl Sunday is February 1st.
Excitement abounds about the upcoming game. Let's score a touchdown where it really matters - please bring in cans of soup by February 1st and put them in the great big box in Bonoff Hall. We'll deliver them to the Preble Street Soup Kitchen when St. Alban's next serves lunch in mid-February. Contact Debbie for details.

Kitchen lost and found items are in the parish hall. Please take a look through the platters and plates. Do any belong to you? If so, please take them home! Any items not claimed by February 1st will be donated to the Essentials Pantry.
