Dear Friends,
In front of me right now are two wonderfulJoan Chittister books. Joan is someone I turnto when I want to center up and make somesense of life or at least find a path to awakenfrom it. She wrote The Gift of Years over 13years ago but I pulled it out recently when aparishioner asked if we could do a bookdiscussion around it. Aging is one of thosethings that often takes us by surprise,sneaking up on us while we're living life.Who knew my mom would be staring at mein the mirror every morning all those yearsago? A few years ago I met Joan Chittister
and had the opportunity to ask her, "Whatkeeps you energized at this stage of life?"Her response was: "My sisters whom I livewith each day, my sweet pets whom I loveevery day, and a small glass of brandy (orwas it bourbon?) every night before I go tosleep." Good old Joan. Such a good nun!!And from her honest answer comes bookt w o : Two Dogs and a Parrot . AnotherChittister classic.
Forever young,Mother Shelley +

Stephen Ministries is one of the most beautiful lay ministries our EpiscopalChurch offers within local communities. It is truly a way to live Christ in thisworld by providing short-term one-on-one support to members of AllSaints' Church and St. George's Chapel members who are facing lifechallenges and transitions. Your relationship does not replace the need oroffering of clergy, but it rather enhances the communal Christ experiencewithin the church. If you find yourself in a time of life where a calmingpresence to walk beside you sounds comforting, give Mother Shelley a calland learn more about Stephen Ministries. +
