Connection
The truth of baptism is revealed in what it does and who it shows us to be, cleansing us, not from dirt but from separation: separation from God, separation from ourselves, separation from one another.

Society of Saint John the Evangelist
Just a reminder that Compline, a quiet, meditative 30 minute reflection and opening awaits your arrival this Thursday and every Thursday. Come & see!
Growth
Our lives change as we go through different periods in our lives. There may be times when we face the sadness of leaving one part of life to enter a new and different experience. Nevertheless, in my experience, these times are usually followed by compensations that are satisfying and joyful. Faith plays an important role in this.

Trust
Recognizing that the task before us is impossibly huge gives us reason to trust in God, which is a good thing; but the size of the problem does not excuse us from taking any action.

A Prayer for the Poor and the NeglectedAlmighty and most merciful God, we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: the homeless and the destitute, the old and the sick, and all who have none to care for them. Help us to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, and to turn their sorrow into joy. Grant this, Father, for the love of your Son, who for our sake became poor, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
An introduction to reading choral music including not only the basics of notation, rhythm and pitch; but background also on the evolution of the current voicings within the choir and each singer’s place within it. The class is both lecture and practice and is appropriate for beginners and as a refresher for seasoned singers.
From the Shelton School District
"As a way of encouraging community pride the Shelton School District is initiating the Shelton Proud Campaign intended to promote the ideas of “Where We Started”, “How We Got Here”, and “Where We Are Going”.
With the construction of new school facilities and the creation of the Health Science Academy, and the dedication of Jack Stark Field at Highclimber Stadium the Shelton School District will begin by chronicling the history of the Shelton School District, then outline our goals and objectives for the future. The campaign will also include current achievements and success stories with the tagline “We are Shelton Proud”.
The Shelton School District would like to invite the community at large to participate in the Shelton Proud campaign as well. Individuals and businesses are invited to celebrate Shelton. Tell us your story, the history of “Where You Started”, “How You Got Here”, as well as “Where You Are Going” be sure to use the tagline “We are Shelton Proud” or “ I am Shelton Proud”. Share your story with the Mason County Minute - Shelton and help us realize what being “Shelton Proud” means to you.
We are excited to see the passion of our community, as we assure that our story is never forgotten. We will discover the untold stories and highlight personal achievement. Shelton has triumphed again and again over the odds. Let’s share the story of our community. Our community is strong, resilient, determined and compassionate. Tell us what makes you Shelton Proud."

I have come to know that God has made a home in my heart when I stand in the garden watching the pumpkins grow. I have come to know that God has made a home in my heart when I simply stand and gaze at onions and carrots and spinach as they poke their first leaves out through the soil. Where are you standing when you come to know that God has made a home in your heart?

Intellect
We don’t go brain dead when we read the Scriptures. We need not hesitate to use our intellects – informed by many disciplines – as we approach the Scriptures. How does what you are reading in the Scriptures ring true to your own life experience and, if not, then what? The Anglican approach is to be on good speaking terms with Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience.

He also discusses the communications support he provides to churches across the diocese.
For communications support, you can contact Josh via email at jhornbeck@ecww.org or by phone at 206.325.4200, ext. 2039.
Maturity
Looking at our world, would Jesus see trees planted by streams of water, hungering and thirsting for God, or would he see bickering children, turning away from the very words that bring life?
