CAROLING SUNDAY

A very special thank you to the 55

carolers who took Christmas cookies

and carols to 56 different people. We

did a lot in three hours! Thank you to

Mary Lee Harris who provides all

the names and special information, to

Kathy Kent who did all the printing

of maps and lists that keeps us orga-

nized, and to all the people who

helped call 100 people to see if they

would be home for carolers to come.

Thanks to the following families who

brought their children during this

busy season to share in this outreach:

Buchanans, Triepels, Lerners, Pel-

tons, Bakhshis, Olivers, Foggs, and

Erika Hurlburt who brought extra

teens.....all part of the Galilee family

sharing the love of Christ. And thank

you to the Women of Galilee Cookie

Walk who donated all extra cookies

to the caroling plates.

Have you seen the new artwork near

the ramp entrance? The Baptism of

Pocahontas engraving was donated

by Thomas Payne.

Lenten Series

In 2007 I embarked upon a verse by

verse study of Jeremiah. I decided

that I wouldn’t move on from a

verse until I understood it. (There

are 52 chapters in Jeremiah, so this

journey took a while.) Shortly be-

fore I came to Galilee in 2009, I

completed that quest. The lessons I

learned from Jeremiah have stuck

with me, and shaped not only my

faith journey but also how I do my

job as a minister.

For our Lenten Series this year we

will take five passages from Jeremi-

ah—and discover the timeless truths

that God still speaks through this

prophet today. Thanks in advance to

the different groups who provide the

excellent lunch fare for our Lenten

series! I look forward to this time

with you. Our first Lenten Lunch

will be on February 25th, at 12 noon.

Yours in Christ,

Father Buchanan+

ALICE RUEGER CIRCLE

The Alice Rueger Circle will meet

on February 3rd at 10:30am in

Tucker Hall. Our speaker will be

Meghan Stufflebeem, Director of

Galilee Montessori.

MEALS ON WHEELS

Galilee is responsible for delivering

meals the third week on the

month. We are looking for a full-

time delivery person for Friday

and a few subs to fill in for illness

and vacations. Drivers will pick up

the meals at the Sentara nursing

home off Rosemont road starting at

9:30. The number of deliveries var-

ies from month to month but it usu-

ally takes about one and half to two

hours. Anyone interested can call

me at 373-3116 or email at

[email protected]. Thanks so

much! - Joan Wagner

FROM THE RECTOR

Dear Friends,

Annual Meeting

Every year we ask

our parishioners to

attend the Annual

Meeting, which is

followed by an

oyster roast and

BBQ. The annual meeting is just

around the corner and will occur on

February 1st. The only change this

year is that instead of two services,

we will combine all three services

into one.

Our combined service will begin at

9:30—with the annual meeting

scheduled to begin at 11, followed

by lunch in Jordan Hall. Activities

for children and childcare/nursery

will be provided.

Thank you in advance to our staff

who will handle many logistical de-

tails for the annual meeting—and

thanks to Ann and Frank Malbon,

who have once again agreed to pull

together the oyster roast and BBQ!

Diocesan Council

Every year the (nearly) 80 parishes

of our diocese gather together with

Bishop Hollerith for 2 days of meet-

ings. This gathering goes by the

name “Diocesan Council”—and at

these meetings we have worship,

teaching, fellowship and business.

Galilee is allowed to send 6 dele-

gates to represent our parish—and I

thank Jamie Rawls, Hugh Patterson,

Molly Ill, Ben Unkle, Jackie

McAfee, and Molly Mabe who have

agreed to attend. Please be in touch

with them or me if you have any

questions.

SENIORS STAYING HOME

From chair exercises to gourmet

snacks, our Seniors were well enter-

tained on January 13th with enlight-

ening information about what our

progressive city has to offer at the

Seniors Staying Home program.

Karen LeRette talked about various

programs at the Recreation Centers,

demonstrated simple exercises and

stressed the importance of staying

active as we age. She especially

pointed out the Silver Sneakers pro-

gram for those 65 and older,

“Forever Young,” and the fact that

transportation is offered within a five

mile radius of each center.

Key-note speaker Kate Hitt shared

information about Senior Services,

Respite Services and many programs

that were new to most in attendance.

Visiting doctors that make house

calls, Project Lifesaver, Housing for

Seniors, mobile dentistry, smoke de-

tectors and more. She answered ques-

tions and stayed for several private

meetings. Both speakers distributed

informational flyers with names and

numbers and Karen and Kate both

offered to assist anyone who had

questions in the future.

Jean Preston-Rae summoned it up

best when she said she thought the

program was “just wonderful,” she

learned a lot and she was glad we had

such a large turn-out. She was proud

that our City has so many special

programs!

Dear Souls,

This past year has gone by so quick-

ly. We came to Galilee on Jan 9th,

2014, where did the year go? Lynn

and I love it here, we love Galilee

and we never cease to be amazed at

what God is doing in His Heal-

ing Ministry. Watching God healing

others is such a privilege. Keep your

eyes on the Lord, seek first His

Kingdom. The Lord is still in the

business of healing.

Please bring a neighbor and a friend

to the first Tuesday of the month

healing services. Be well, do good

works and for the sake of God, love

one another.

In His healing love,

Nigel+

Generational Healing Service With Holy Eucharist Teaching led by Fr. Nigel Mumford

February 21, 2015

9:30am – 11:00am

Patterns of physical, emotional or spiritual sickness can

descend upon individuals and families from generation

to generation, i.e. diabetes, cancer.

The sins of the fathers travel down the generations to

affect the present time, but blessings also travel down

the family lines. Jesus’ healing power can touch our

families with blessing as well as free us from the effects

of sin.
