Farewell to Jessica

   Our wonderful Sunday School attendant, Jessica Houser, will be leaving Virginia to start a new teaching position in Texas.  We are very sorry to see her go as she has truly been a blessing to us here at St. Asaph's.  
   We will be recognizing her contributions at a send-off celebration following the service on July 6th at Pitts' Pond.  In lieu of personal gifts, we are hoping, as a church family, to be able to support Jessica and her family in their new journey.  There will be a table set up at Pitts' Pond to collect cards with words of wisdom and well-wishes.  If you feel so inclined, any financial support would be truly appreciated by the Housers as the past few months have been quite tough on this young family.

Happy Birthday Bambi!

Bambi and Bishop Goff
   The Rt. Rev. Susan Goff will make her Episcopal visit to St. Asaph’s on Sunday, February 3.  At 9:30 AM, she will join us for conversation about her episcopate, the diocese and hopes for the Church.  All are welcome to join us in the sanctuary for this dialog.  At 10:00 AM, she will meet with our confirmands, Alexis Kelleher and Annelizabeth Ferrigan, and then preside at our service of confirmation at 10:30 AM. When she visits, Bishop Goff will preach and celebrate and observe the ancient practice of the Laying On of Hands, laying her hands on those desiring to be confirmed, received or reaffirmed.  In the Laying on of Hands, the Bishop is acting for the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, the Church that stretches back to the first apostles and continues through us in this time and in this place. 

To read more about the practice of the Laying On of Hands, click the photo.

Automated External Defibrillator for our church

Picture
Thanks to John Nunnally, we now have an AED device housed at St. Asaph's.  An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias  in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.

John has conducted a training for our parishioners.  If you missed the training, and you are interested, you can either borrow a video, or go to the following web site: Real CPR Help AED Demo
