Dear parishioners & friends of St. Edward’s,
As we enter this week, we offer: A Collect for Guidance
The Book of Common Prayer, page 100
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Be well. Stay safe. Keep the faith.
– Michelle

We are in the final stages of completing the landscaping and walkway of our Memorial Garden, this week. We have installed the Garden entrance granite plaque “St. Edward’s Memorial Garden” just outside the garden space and once the landscapers are finished, we will be activating the fountain element as well as installing our benches. We encourage all to come by and take a look at the beautification of this sacred and contemplative space. Our monument is being carved at the quarry in Vermont and we should be installing those pieces over the next month. Our perpetual plaques which will be installed on the granite monument, for the individual name plaques, are also being created at the foundry and should be ready shortly.
With just 7 days left until the basket raffle portion of our October 24th event closes, we are happy to report that through the generosity and spirit of our St. Edward’s family, and dear friends, we are ever closer to reaching our fundraising goal. As of today, we have raised $3,690!! Imagine that! But we still need YOU! Let’s work to reach our goal of $4,500 by next Monday. What an amazing outpouring of faith, hope, and love for the ministry of St. Edward’s.
