St Edmund's Episcopal Church San Marino

The Seventh Sunday After Pentecost, July 12th, 2015

Many have asked after Jim Schlanser, who would welcome visits from friends at Huntington Care Center across from the Santa Anita Mall at Huntington and Holly in Arcadia.

Our Acolytes have initiated the commissioning of a handsome wall-plaque in honor of First Among The Faithful and Mentor to so many Acolytes through the decades, and we remain in good hope that Jim will be well enough to join us for the unveiling of the honorific one Sunday shortly. Please keep Jim, his husband Keith Ho, and his family in prayer.

On happier note, Heather Blackstone is on-board. She put her office in order and was making pastoral phone calls on her first day, and with dazzling speed. The office staff are pleased and impressed, and you will soon be also.

Peace and blessing,
GFW+

London is replete with opportunity. A departure date June 13th, 2016 has been suggested. Speak to the Rector if this is of interest to you!
