Keeping up with the Canons!

From Canon Kristin: "A great weekend of ministry! Yesterday I had the opportunity for conversation and reflection with the leaders of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Crownsville. I left feeling both joyful and hopeful. And today I was grateful for the invitation to preach at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Baltimore, followed by great coffee hour conversations about The College for Congregational Development in the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland. Thank you and your communities for your holy hospitality Nathan Erdman and Mark Stanley!"

Keeping up with the Canons!

Canon Travis spent last Sunday with the good people of Christ the King, Woodlawn, sharing the good news and sabbath rest that come with Jesus Christ.

Canon Margarita was out at All Hallows Church: "This morning, I had the blessing of spending time with Father Jeff+ and members of All Hallows Church, witnessing their beautiful ministry of providing food and support to families in need. My heart was truly overwhelmed with gratitude. God makes His presence known through the love, compassion, and generosity we see in the action of others."
