I am also pleased to announce the Adult Education program for 2024-25. This year we will be picking off where last year’s “The Path” left off. The last of the books of the New Testament were written some time during the end of the first century. But the story of the love of God has continued ever since through the life of the Church these past almost 2,000 years. And so as a means of continuing the story that connects us here today in the 21st century all the way back to the first, we’ll be going a journey through Church history.

A number of weeks ago in one of these emails I announced that we as a St. David’s community have the opportunity for a weekend away as a parish retreat the weekend of April 4-6, 2025.

This past February the Vestry and I went on retreat to the DeKoven Center in Racine, Wisconsin. We had a fantastic time (please ask any Vestry member!). It’s a beautiful setting right on Lake Michigan, and the food was great! The grounds have served a number of different purposes over the years, including being an Episcopal College and an Episcopal Convent. It currently is available as an event space (think weddings) as well as a retreat center.

Finally, I am happy to announce that You Sunday School is set to kick off on Sunday September 8th. This year it will take place 9:00-9:45 AM. Once again Mary Beth Darr has offered to organize a sort of “one room school house” Sunday School, which means that youth ages 3 through high school will all be together, offering an opportunity for intergenerational interaction!

Earlier in the Summer I invited all in the parish to join in reading a book published by Forward Movement: “Inwardly Digest: The Prayer Book As Guide to a Spiritual Life” by Derek Olsen.

This week I have yet more dates for you to save! This year we are excited to host a table at the Glenview Blocktoberfest Kids Zone.

I cannot believe we are already to the month of August, the Summer always seems to fly by.

The time has finally come! This coming week, the parking lot will receive its much needed facelift. It does mean that the parking lot will not be accessible Monday July 29th - Saturday August 3rd. As long as we don’t have a week full of torrential rain, the parking lot will be ready for use again by Sunday.
