Un Grand Merci!
Forgive me for babbling in French but my French friend since my university days arrived Monday and I’ve been trying to brush up on my language skills.
A huge thank you to all who made the Bazaar such a roaring success this year! It is so heartwarming to see how the St. James family works together for a greater good, how each of you offer your gifts so freely – gifts of creativity, culinary gifts, organizational gifts, traffic management gifts, and so much more – all so that the Bazaar can earn funds to give back to the community. How awesome is that!
My friend and I are participating in the Episcopal Relief & Development Ministry Partner Conference. I give thanks for the amazing work of Episcopal Relief & Development as we work with dioceses and their partners to respond to disasters in the United States and around the world and as we partner with locally-led organizations throughout the Anglican Communion and beyond to advance lasting change in communities impacted by injustice, poverty, disaster, and climate change.
So in this season of Thanksgiving, I give thanks for all of our St. James family, for all organizations devoted to advancing the common good, and for the many blessings in our lives.
With gratitude,
Judy Q+
