St. Clare’s Episcopal Church

 

In one sense, I’ve already broken this rule.  You are probably reading this after having already read some portion of St. Clare’s website.  I have had the opportunity to speak first. 

But at least in this blog, in spite of my temptation to tell you even more about why this new church excites me or my temptation to comment on something going on in our community or one of the daily Scripture readings, I want to stop and listen to you.

To me, this is one of the hallmarks of hospitality - listen first, speak second.

So, I’m wondering - how does what you’ve seen of St. Clare’s Episcopal Church connect with your daily life?  What excites you, concerns you or intrigues you?

If you are not currently regularly involved in a church, what would make you want to come to church - not just St. Clare’s, but any church?  What programs, mission opportunites or worship experiences are most appealing to you?  What qualities in the people matter most to you?  If you are deeply engaged in another church, what compels your active involvement there?

What do you think are some of the biggest needs in our community, our nation or the world?  Do you have any ideas about how St. Clare’s could be a part of making things better?

I thank you in advance for your thoughtful comments.  By sharing what is important to you, you honor us and help us become better servants of Jesus Christ.

Peace,

Pastor Pip
