If you have pastoral or prayer concerns that you

would like to share with the wider parish please

make them known to the office or to Pastor Cass.

Dear Sisters and Brothers,.

In the past I have talked about the impact you and I

can have on one another. I was reminded of this fact

this week as I sat down on the bench in the foyer

which is dedicated to Steve Waters, a former parish

administrator her at Trinity. There are three small

drawers underneath the bench. In them, I discovered

an amazing treasure.

There is a collection of handwritten notes on pieces of

paper in the shape of fish. There must be several doz-

en in these drawers and on them are things for which

people are thankful. Here is a sampling:

I am blessed that my daughter brought us

food enough for thanksgiving and for two

weeks

Thank you for my health and all my blessings

The opportunity to laugh

Thankful for the beautiful choir here at Trin-

ity and Carlton’s leadership

After I read through several of these notes I felt uplift-

ed. I also felt the need to reflect on the ways I am

blessed.

Imagine what our life would be like if we could share

these things regularly and openly with one another.

Let’s give it a try!

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Cass

An Intentional Multicultural Christian Community of Reconciliation, Transformation, and Love

BREAD & ROSES NOTES

1. Plant Sale! We're going to be hosting some farmers/

gardeners to sell their plants. Will be a nice opportunity

for folks to see the garden as well. Date is Saturday 5/9

from Emmanuel Greenwood to help them install a but-

terfly garden (tentative date Saturday May 16 9-11am)

Women's Quiet Day

Saturday, May 09, 2015, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

You're invited to a Women's Quiet Day at Emmanuel Episcopal Church

Drawing from the rich resources of Scripture, prayer, cinema, and conversation, a quiet day at Em-manuel Greenwood bids us nurture the stretch and imagination who is God ‘s presence with us. The day spent together will introduce and bring to practice the reflective experience of Benedictine com-munity and Lectio Divina, as well as engage our own narratives bringing to light the many ways the spirit of Christ is brought to play and alight therein. Just bring your open hearts and unique lives to a day of divine rest and prayerful experience. $15 for the day + $5 for lunch. RSVP to Carolyn Rhondeau via email or at 434-205-4004.

Our Quiet Day leader is the Rev. Sarah Wood. Sarah’s history in the Episcopal life of church and school is a long one. Before her arrival in July 2014 to Asheville, NC, Sarah served at Grace Church in New York City as Assistant Rector and at Grace Church School as Chaplain. Sa-rah spent her first three years in ordained ministry as Chaplain at Christchurch School in Tidewater Virginia and then a four-year term as Chaplain at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School in the city of Atlanta. In Atlanta, Sarah was an active priest with an Episcopal and spiritual com-munity for the homeless called Common Ground, an Ecclesia ministry. Sarah’s focus is in school chaplaincy, spending the better part of her vocational days in theological instruction, liturgical design, community engagement, and spiritual formation. Her work with young persons began as an undergraduate at The College of William and Mary where she earned a Bache-lor of Arts with a dual concentration in Education and English Literature. After discernment in the Dio-cese of Virginia and studies at Virginia Theological Seminary, Sarah was ordained to the priesthood in May 2005. Presently, Sarah is a student in the two-year certification program in Spiritual Direction with a focus on Jungian understanding and process at The Haden Institute in Flat Rock, NC. Chaplaincy at Mission Hospital, the primary medical center in western North Carolina, and studies at Haden keep Sarah busy as she travels on the varied roads of God’s commissioning. Small group work, contempla-tive days, and retreats have been a wonderful way for Sarah to bring together the stretch of her inter-ests and experience. Sarah is passionate in the teaching and nurturing of all of God’s children, no matter the age! She is de-lighted and honored to spend a couple of days with the beloved people of Emmanuel, Greenwood, and prays the time together encourages the body of Christ we are always called to animate and love. --
