234 N High St Hillsboro, OH 45133 Doesn’t time fly? Here we

are at the end of sum-mer….again! But if you think back each ending means a beginning. So even though we are at the end of summer, we are at the beginning of Fall! This Fall, we will start new programs and schedules. This is exciting. A new focus and a new way of looking at God’s ministry through our children and our programs. Beginning on September 10th, you will notice that dur-ing our 10 am Sunday Wor-ship, there will be all genera-tions in our sanctuary. The children will remain in the service, sitting with their par-ents, from the opening pro-cession until the end of Holy Eucharist. After taking com-munion, they may be di-rected to follow their teach-ers to the classroom. We often imagine that having children in worship causes chaos, but it is a wonderful thing! I will do a children’s

sermon every week and they will come to look forward and wait for their special message. For the wee chil-dren, we plan to open a nursery room next to the classrooms on the ground floor of the CEC building. Also, we have Angel Bags, located on the wall under the steps in the Narthex (foyer). The Angel Bags have crayons and paper/pictures to color. Soft toys are also in some of the bags. Feel free to get one for your child and remember to put it back after church for the next week. Our Sunday School pro-gram has changed. With Phyllis and Paul retiring from teaching, we decided to re-vamp our wonderful pro-gram and include some les-sons specific to the Episcopal Church; such as seasons and colors of the church year, following the Lectionary, and all about Jesus! Under the direction of Debby Shuler, and a few dedicated teach-

ers, our children will be put into two groups, older and younger, with a focus to fit the age group. We see lots of fun ideas floating around in the Sunday School class-rooms. Parents, encourage your children to participate! This new schedule pro-vides a space for an Adult Forum at the Coffee Hour in Lacy Hall. This may not be an every Sunday occurrence but, depending on your response, we will invite speakers and teachers to present to you. Another change will be the introduction of younger chil-dren as Acolyte, so encourage your children, aged 10 or up, to become trained. Sometimes it is hard to navigate through change, but this will be a “small step for mankind…………………” and a large jump for our faith growth.

St. Mary’s had a wonderful picnic at Nancy Or-th’s home and the weather cooperated beautifully with cloudy skies making it cool and comfortable, with no rain, on Sunday, August 6. It was lovely just getting there traveling the road south with gentle curves and rolling hills. Everyone brought delicious food and treats that made a banquet in the great outdoors. Even a “Bear”, Lowell’s beautiful dog, and “Whitney”, Nancy’s dog, joined the group making it a treat for everyone. Extra special was seeing and hearing the wings of a humming bird dart around the colorful flow-ers. And, you could easily imagine deer coming out of the woods approaching the wood fence. Thank you, Nancy Orth, for sharing your very special home with us.

We found a little bit of heaven here on Earth when we vacationed on St John in the U. S. Virgin Islands. The island is mostly National Park, small villages, pris-tine white beaches, good restaurants and duty-free shops. We stayed on Hart Beach in a villa with it's own pool, lovely views of the ocean and wonderful breez-es. Our children ran free to chase geckos, hermit crabs and to pick up sea glass and shells. We went there nine times. Fred and I joked that we'd like to have our final resting place on the island. Katrina recently had a vacation in Tam-pa, Florida. Before she left, she called to ask if she could have some of her dad's ashes to sprinkle in the Gulf of Mexico. She reasoned that would be as close to St. John as we could get, and that maybe

they would float to the Caribbean. I agreed, She came to Hillsboro to pick them up. The last morning she was at the beach, she went to a quiet area and prayed for her father, and thanked God for giving her a father who loved her no-matter-what. As she was finishing, it started to drizzle. She looked up and saw a rainbow. “Thank you, God, I'm going to take that as a sign that all is well with my father.” She started to walk away. But stopped to say, “God, I'd like to see a dolphin.” A dolphin jumped in front of her four times and swam off. “”Thank you, God! Now I know you really love me!”
