Bishop Visit Sunday

Benjamin Strait with his companion acolyte, Anna May, waiting in the processional line behind Lay Episcopal Minister Dayton Lang.

Very limited time this morning, so just a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful visit from our diocese's Bishop yesterday, Bishop Scott Behase.   

I know Benjamin looks rather somber in both pictures here, but although I know he took his responsibilities as an acolyte very seriously, that he was quite delighted to do it, and was often smiling. It's interesting what the camera can and can't capture sometimes.  

Bishop Scott Behase reads from the Book of Common Prayer.  At times in the service, Benjamin would hold the Book of Common Prayer for the Bishop.

I love our church, and the positive effect it has had on Benjamin and so many others.  We are open.  We are tolerant.  And that will be needed more and more as times begin to darken and shadow.

Peace be with you.
