Presiding Bishop-Elect Interview Attached. Attached is a transcript of an
interview of our Presiding Bishop-Elect, The Rt. Rev. Katherine Jefferts
Schori, on the Diane Rehm Show on Public Radio, June 29, 2006. I commend it
to you ‹ as it offers insight into the faith and witness we can expect from
this Bishop in the years ahead.

Club Nova needs Thrift Shop volunteers. The Thrift Shop at Club Nova invites
you to volunteer for a 2 or 4 hour shift a week anytime Monday-Saturday 9am
- 6pm. The idea is to interact with a Club member with whom you will buddy
up on a regular weekly time slot at the Thrift Shop. Club members greatly
value our presence, friendship, fellowship and spirit. You'll find the same
rewards in return multifold in the relationship building process with our
friends at Club Nova. For more information, email Chip at
cmatteson at thechapelofthecross.org or call him at 259-2484.

The blessing of God,
The eternal goodwill of God,
The shalom of God,
The wildness and the warmth of God,
Be among us and between us
Now and always. Amen.

Lisa+
