SPECIAL GIVING IN JANUARY Giving Here ... We begin the year’s cycle of special giving with an Initial Offering, turning to the Biblical principle of first fruits giving. We invite you to make God’s work in the world your first gift of the new year. Your generosity readies our parish for ministry and worship, and intentionally connects you to His work. Your gift may be a tribute or memorial gift.
Giving There ... Half of what you give toward our January Special Giving will go to the Society for the Increase of the Ministry. This independent group supports the future of the Episcopal Church by providing scholarship aid to seminary students pursuing ordination. Their work ensures that financial concerns do not stand in the way of raising up our Church’s next leaders.
Learning More... Visit http://simministry.org. Chat with parishioner and Society of the Increase of the Ministry board member, Judy Radasch. Coffee Hour, 10:15 – 11:00, Sunday, January 25.
SUNDAY BOOK DISCUSSION
Are you looking for a way to deepen your understanding of Jesus and revitalize your faith? Come join a book discussion of Cynthia B o u r g e a u l t ' s T h e W i s d o m Jesus. The Rev. Bourgeault, a brilliant Episcopal priest, explores how “the wisdom tradition”--a lesser known mystical perspective--- impacted Jesus, his life and his
teaching. This Sunday book discussion will start on February 1 at 10:15 a.m. in the St. Francis Room, and last for six to eight weeks. Sign up for the class (at the Welcome Table or at Coffee Hour), buy the book, and come join us!!! The discussions will build on each other and be facilitated by parishioner, Marion Larsen. Marion attended three years of Chicago Divinity school, taught adult classes in an Episcopal church in TN., and is the widow of an Episcopal priest and Jungian psychotherapist. Feel free to contact her at (941)355-0333 for more information.
GREETINGS FROM YOUR SR. WARDEN
By the time you receive this note, Advent and Christmas have passed and a
new year has begun. What a blessed season it was, with great food at the
pot luck, wonderful music at the services, and wonderful worship and bible
study done by our clergy. We are truly fortunate to have all these blessings
that St. Boniface Church affords.
I’m excited about our future next year, especially the monthly parish
meetings that Fr. John has scheduled for us. We will have an opportunity to
create our vision and mission as we bring Christ’s ministry into our
community and beyond.
I know we must make some changes that will help us achieve a balanced
budget and put us on the responsible road to a balanced budget. This will be
a difficult time of adjustment, and we pray for God’s guidance during this
process.
Thank you for being a loving congregation, and making this a wonderful
home and worship place for all. Happy New Year! Doug Francis
