Dear Friends in Christ,
My heart is full of gratitude as I reflect on this past Sunday. Seeing 72 of us gathered together in the name of Jesus Christ was a deep encouragement. More than a number, it was a witness to the quiet and faithful ways you continue to show up—for worship, for one another, and for the life we share in Christ. Thank you. Your presence matters, and it is a gift to this community.
Looking ahead, there are several opportunities to continue growing together:
Beginning this fall, we will offer a Confirmation Class open to all. Whether you are seeking confirmation or reception, returning to the church after time away, or simply longing to go deeper in your understanding of the Anglican tradition, this will be a space of learning, conversation, and shared discovery. It will also serve as a welcoming place for newcomers to begin finding their footing in our common life.
I am also very glad to share that beginning Wednesday, June 3rd, we will once again gather each week for Holy Communion with Anointing at 6:30pm. There is something especially tender about midweek prayer—a quiet space to come as we are, to receive the grace of the Blessed Sacrament, and to rest in the healing presence of Jesus. I hope this becomes a steady source of renewal for many of you.
Finally, I want to gently encourage each of us to consider who we might invite into this life we share. Time and again, studies show that over 90% of people who come to church do so because they were personally invited by a friend or family member. That simple act of invitation—offered with warmth and sincerity—can be a powerful way the Holy Spirit works through us. You do not need to have all the answers; simply extending an invitation can open the door for someone to encounter the love of Jesus in a new way.
Please know how thankful I am for you—for your faith, your generosity, and your quiet acts of love. It is a privilege to walk this path of faith alongside you. May we continue to be attentive to the presence of Jesus among us, who calls us, gathers us, and sustains us week by week.
Yours in the Lord Jesus,
Cam+
