We have all experienced a fine example of this model of ministry thru Deacon Robert's time with us. He is moving on to a small neighboring parish, Holy Comforter in Spring where he will serve in many minisrties as needed.

I continue to pray about identifying and talking with any one interested in the EDOT Diaconal Program, the finest in the whole National Church. Contact me as you are so moved.

Please indulge me as I remind you of my favorite phrase, a quote from Elizabeth Seton.

"I live simply so others can simply live"

I find this an awesome committment to a simple lifestyle, especialy in these unsettling times.

Blessings,

DEACON BOB
