Greetings to the people of St. Mark’s
Greetings, my friends,
The hospitality you’ve extended has been reassuring and gratifying—I thank you for helping me feel so comfortable in my new community. Since my arrival, I’ve had the privilege of conversation—and breaking bread—with a number of you, and in some cases have engaged in real “work” for and among the members of the congregation. What a delight!
Although I have scheduled a couple of essential conversations next week, I ask that you honor my start date of August 1, and give me this last week to get as much unpacked, etc., as possible. As we begin planning for worship during August, and anticipating other aspects of our life together, there are, inevitably, many necessary conversations, but other than those I hope to have most of the week free to nest. I also will need extra time for prayer and solitude in these last days before we take the big plunge!
That said, I am available for godly conversation and pastoral concerns as your needs dictate. I will likely be in Candi’s office now and then during the next week checking email. Finally, I will be in and out of the Rector’s study in the church—please feel free to come in and say hello if I’m there.
It is a joy to be among you. Thank you for the ways you are already a blessing in my life. I bid your prayer for me; you are in mine daily.
In Christ,
Mother Robin
