Greetings from St. Anne's Episcopal Church! Listening to the choir's lovely anthem last week, I was reminded of Garrison Keillor's description of Episcopalians:
"I do believe this, people: Episcopalians -- who love to sing in four-part harmony -- are the sort of people you could call up when you're in deep distress. If you are dying, they will comfort you. If you are lonely, they'll talk to you. And if you are hungry, they'll give you tuna salad."
WORSHIP
We meet at 10am in Lackey Chapel on the campus of Coastal Carolina University. Click here for a map.
A special worship opportunity is attached to this email. Episcopalians from Trinity Myrtle Beach have been meeting as a worship group, and they've invited us St. Anne's folks to join them this Sunday at 4pm. So come to St. Anne's at 10am, then go to Trinity-in-Exile at 4pm. Double the church, and there's not one among us that couldn't use the extra measure of grace, right? For directions and RSVP information see the attachment to this email.

VISION
A couple of weeks ago, twenty-six bishops met in Charleston and learned about the successful reorganization of our diocese. They wrote a letter commending our efforts, and closed with this message:
"Going forward, please know that we are of one mind in thanking God for your witness to the entire church that we indeed worship and serve a real, risen and living Lord. And, we would ask you to ever keep with you the words of the Apostle to the church in Ephesus: “Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.” Eph. 3:20-21"
See you Sunday,
Dan
