Cultivating Faith Leadership Teams: Eat, Pray, Serve

By the Rev. Canon Dr. Grayhame Bowcott

This past August, the Parish Council members of my congregation sat around a table on the back deck of our Rectory.

We shared a simple pasta dinner, some wine, and an evening of informal conversations about ministry planning for September. Keep reading.

All This and More: So You Want to be a Parish Priest?

By the Rev. Greg Little

I was going through some old files a while ago and came across a document; Ministry Description, Priest/Rector. This was a job description of what is expected for a parish priest in the Anglican Church which was provided for me when I became a full-time parish priest some years ago. Keep reading.

STEWARDSHIP

The first Wednesday of the month, eNews Weekly features a stewardship article. On the remaining Wednesdays, it includes a brief stewardship thought suitable for inclusion in Sunday bulletins. For more information about stewardship initiatives and support, please reach out to kevindixon@diohuron.org.

Stewardship Article - What Will Our Love Leave Behind? 

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”

Some gifts arrive in an envelope. Others arrive years later, when someone who has been part of a community for decades is no longer there to see what their generosity makes possible.

At St. Jude's in London, we recently celebrated the extraordinary generosity of Myfanwy Matthews, who left her entire estate to the parish. Her gift will make a tangible difference to the life of this congregation and its capacity to serve others. But it also invites a deeper question: what does it mean to leave a legacy?
