Holy Cross/Shirley's Birthday

Last Friday was the feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross. We celebrated it as a parish yesterday, on Sunday. And we also celebrated my lovely wife Shirley's birthday.

Brother-and-sister-in-law Jeff, Susanna, and nephew Benjamin were here from Ft. Worth. And our friends Mitch and Elizabeth from Southern Hills Baptist visited and celebrated as well.

It was a great time of worship, fellowship, and food. We ate at Jin-Wei (sp.?), a Japanese buffet, authentic according to my wife, and she and Susanna said the sushi was good (I don't eat it..........:) ). Our music was good, as well. Clare and I attempted some new music, and it went fairly well.

We always eat lunch together after worship. If you're looking for a church in the evangelical Anglican tradition with life--come and see.

Next month we celebrate the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. I know he wouldn't want us to make a fuss over him, or eat too well, but...oh, well. Sorry, brother.
