The Very Reverend Alan Jones,

On this special day, there will be only one Mass at 10:00 AM to celebrate the Feast of the Dedication, when we give thanks for the Parish community we have built and rededicate ourselves to its continued growth.  The Mass will be followed by a Parish lunch and a Stewardship presentation.  The event marks the kick-off of the Parish annual stewardship campaign which will run until the Feast of Christ the King.  Pledge forms for 2007 will be distributed after the Stewardship presentation.   We shall be fortunate to have as our guest preacher that day The Very Reverend Alan Jones, the Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, a good friend and supporter of this parish. Many of you will remember studying his compelling book of Dante some years ago and the forum he participated in here shortly thereafter on a Saturday morning.  Dean Jones’ latest book, “Common Prayer on Common Ground: A Vision of Anglican Orthodoxy” is available at the tract rack.
