Saint Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church October 2017 Newsletter AROUND AND ABOUT ST. MARY MAGDALENE
In September, a group of parishioners visited the Keiffers, and shared a potluck lunch. Mel’s daughter, Kristi, was there too. That’s Toby on Mel’s lap.
Jackie’s daughter, Gwendolyn, was temporarily forced from her West Palm Beach home during Hurricane Irma. We were happy to have her visit us at St. MM.
Steve, our Sunday morning
Dale and Andrea hold the prayer shawl which they had especially made for Diana Bloom, a relative with terminal cancer. Father Bob blessed the shawl during the morning worship service, as the congregation prayed for peace and blessings for Diana.
Lindsay, our Sunday School teacher, and Kiley. Kiley is Suzanne and Ed Clarke’s granddaughter.
