Dear parishioners of St. Edward’s,
The Rev. David Bateman, our interim rector, has quite unexpectedly taken ill. Although surgery is required, he hopes to start within a few weeks. To be on the safe side, we are arranging for supply priests through January 20. Please pray for Rev. Bateman and prepare to extend a warm St. Edward’s welcome to him on Jan. 27.
We are so grateful to welcome The Rt. Rev. Robert Gepert as our Celebrant and Preacher for this Epiphany Sunday. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
Brian Newsome, Senior Warden and Meredith Westgate, Junior Warden
