We try to limit these notices to no more than one email per week, and some weeks there will be none. Reminders such as the upcoming parenting class on prayer or how to talk to teens about AIDS, the intergenerational event on November 12 on hunger, costuming for the November 5 All Saints' processional and requests for children's items for our refugee family are examples of things we send out to parents signed up on the email list.

Penelope Duckworth is the book we will be using to guide a study on Monday evenings, November 6, 13, and 20 from 7:30 - 9:00 in the Parlor, facilitated by the Rev. Martha Hart. This book invites readers to look at Mary in various ways and touches on the differences between Anglican and Roman Catholic understandings of Mary.

Mary Esser Memorial
The Episcopal Church of the Advocate will dedicate a silk tapestry commissioned in memory of Mary Esser at its Sunday liturgy at 5:00 pm on October 22. Mary Esser, a longtime member of the Chapel of the Cross, was a founding member of the Church of the Advocate, a mission launched in 2003 by the three established Episcopal Churches in Orange County -- the Chapel of the Cross, Church of the Holy Family, and St. Matthew's Church. The 6' x 9' tapestry, created by local artist Nancy Whittington, is called "The Flame and the Seed," and it captures the spirit of Mary Esser, of the Church of the Advocate, and of the Advocate (Holy Spirit) for whom the mission church is named. The tapestry was commissioned with funds given in memory of Mary Esser after her death in October of 2005. At the October 22 liturgy, the Church of the Advocate will also dedicate a prie dieu that is being given to the mission in memory of Mary Esser by members of her book group, many of whom were members of the Chapel of the Cross.
The Men's Breakfast Group
The Men's Breakfast Group will meet at 7:30 am on Wednesday, October 25 in the Parish Dining Room. The speaker will be the Rev. Thomas Nixon, pastor of St. Paul AME Church, our Sister Parish. We have asked him to relate his views on the March 2006 pastoral letter from the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church entitled, "The Sin of Racism: A Call to Covenant." Newcomers are always welcome. For further information call Vince Collura.
