This evening a celebratory retirement party was held for Sarah Jane Knoy, Executive Director of the Granite State Organizing Project (GSOP). Sarah Jane grew the organization during her tenure of almost 20 years from a small shared office in a basement church to offices on Elm St. in Manchester, with staff employees to manage the many functions of the organization.

Granite State Organizing Project, New Hampshire’s largest faith-based, grass-roots, community organization, seeks to strengthen communities, empowering them to find their voice and effect change.

The work is rooted in accepting, respecting, and valuing each other. GSOP comprises many faith communities, labor unions, community groups, and individuals who care deeply that justice and equity is available to all.

There were many successes over the years, with more work to be done. Rest assured, Sarah Jane has not only mentored but inspired great leaders to continue to “put a spoke in the wheel” of oppressive, racial, and unjust systems.

It was a joy to serve with you at the helm, Sarah Jane. Thank you for all you have done for the community of Manchester and NH as a whole. Go enjoy this next chapter in your life. You have certainly earned it.

West High School made their last pick up for their Food pantry today before the Summer break.

They were very grateful and presented St.Andrews with a very nice Thank You card.

We will continue to support the students when school resumes in the Fall.

Thank you for all the donations!🙏

God bless!

For the first year at this church, I wondered
About the window near the street door vestibule.
In the foreground, a man dressed
In that typical Bible-dude costume,
That bathrobe Bedouin chic,
Holding a sheaf of some (probably
Anachronistic) cereal grain. It took me
Several months of Sundays to notice
The pup tent
In the background (offensively unlike
The movable dwelling of an actual desert nomad)
And a few weeks more to realize
That the woman peering out
From this striped canvas lean-to was
Laughing.
Sarah, then, it had to be, the
Hitherto childless octagenarian
Who would name her improbable son
“Laughter.”
So the man must be Abraham
That righteous knucklehead
Who hasn't even got the sense
To share his leaded closeup
With either wife or visiting trinity.
One can easily imagine him sowing
Wild oats on the help, only
To reject his first-born progeny
once Sarah was no longer
Laughing.
If this book weren't called Genesis,
It might be The Real Tentwives of Canaan,
Our own little stained-glass soap opera.
But is it possible we are the three visitors
Greeted with grain by our
Spiritual ancestor? Three strangers
Whom Abraham addresses as one,
We are told They are God, and
That Abraham knows Their secret identity
Like looking and three Clarks
And seeing one Superman.
How does he know?
Or could it be that he greets all passersby this way,
Rushing out of that sorry excuse for a tent
With armfuls of hospitality
To say hello to the future, to ask
Destiny to come inside and set a spell?
