Dear friends,
Look for all links related to Sunday worship in our usual Saturday afternoon posting.
Many happenings at St. Edward’s, all listed below with easy-to-click links for reading and downloading of materials.
Yesterday, our brother, Richard Lawrence, slipped peacefully into his next life. Please hold his wife, Ethel, as well as their family, friends, and loved ones, in your prayers.
We also learned from Bill Coyne, that his mother, Miriam Joan Coyne, died on November 3rd at Masonic Villages in Elizabethtown. Miriam, and her husband, Hugh, were faithful members of St. Edward’s for many years primarily attending the Wednesday noonday service. Hugh passed away in 2012. Bill tells us that Miriam’s wishes were for a simple Commital service at their home church, All Saint’s Scotch Plains, NJ and her ashes were placed in the columbarium, there, next to her husband, Hugh’s ashes.
Prayer for the Faithful Departed
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

**Please prayerfully consider donating a turkey for HAFP Thanksgiving Food Drive. Turkeys can be delivered between now and NEXT WEDNESDAY, November 18th and we will transport them to the HAFP. Let’s meet our goal of each parish family donating a turkey so that our neighbors in need can enjoy a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.
The Community Aid bin has been removed. Please continue to support this passive form of fundraising by bringing your soft goods to the donation center on Good Drive (near Columbia Avenue) and when you drop off your items reference St. Edward’s partner #40036. We will earn money towards our social outreach! Every penny counts.

We encourage you to have your Book of Common Prayer for each session and the text, Walk In Love is optional. If you do not have a copy of the BCP on hand, this link will give you the downloadable pdf.
Remember to take some time to devote to exploring and making notations on the handout that Bob has supplied so that we may engage in our spiritual formation together, sharing our insights, thoughts, and questions, and please know that we look for those in the group to offer the closing prayer for any week!
Each week, we will provide a hand out in the Monday emails that you can download and review prior to the Friday session.
