I am happy to let you know that the office project is nearly competed. The parking lot is now open (you can enter off Periwinkle) and apart from a few small things, the project is complete. The new parking lot and landscaping is beautiful. Many thanks to everyone who has worked so hard on this project and dealt with a myriad of details. We will be having a dedication ceremony for the new office on Thursday, December 9 th at 5:00 pm. It will include a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony. There will be a reception sponsored by the ECW in the parish hall following the dedication. Mark your calendar now. Everyone is welcome to help bless our new office, recognize the generous donor and thank everyone who worked to make this building a reality. There will be tours of the office the following weekend, December 11-12 after all three of the services.  Just a reminder that mask wearing is now optional.  I’ll leave you with one of my favorite scripture verses, Galatians 5: 22-23 “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” This is a nice verse to have memorized so you can pray it silently when faced with a challenging situation (or person). Peace, Bill+
