[Cursillo] Group Reunion for 4/1 and Holy Week

[Lynn Drake]

Dear Groupies. I have not forgotten you. But I was home all last week with the flu, later turning to bronchitis, or at worst, pneumonia, but the doctor didn't do an X-ray due to my not having medical insurance, so we weren't exactly sure what it was. Anti-biotics and/or just sheer grit and God's healing power have gotten me back to work this week. Still blowing and coughing a little, but I am not contagious, and I am feeling a lot better. Praise God!
   
  Rule of Life:
  Piety: Stayed home from church 2 Sundays ago, but was back for Palm/Passion Sunday. Didn't do much Morning or Evening Prayer when I was so sick, but began this week again. 
  My prayer beads are sitting in the drawer for now. Oops. . .
   
  Moment Closest to Christ: Sitting with my husband in church Sunday when I couldn't sing (although I ended up singing toward the end of the service, but softly. Then went to choir rehearsal after coffee hour.) Just being close to people I know and some familiar but still un-named newer faces in the back of the congregation, was all so cozy and inspiring, especially listening to people praying out loud our singing. 
   
  Study: After all my other Lenten reading was finished, I finished the book about Haines Alaska, written by the obituary writer for that town. There were some beautiful moments in that book also. The author is an Episcopalian with a very deep love for people and how God uses them.
   
  Action: Well, Cliff's mom fell out of bed when I was sick, so I supported Cliff in all he did for her and in taking care of me! I also am gathering towels from Mom's house for Salvation Army Harbor Light Center. I had a wonderful phone conversation with my ex-boss from there, who will give me a great professional reference if there are any other jobs open in the office at Adams & Gray. That really made my week when I was home and feeling awful physically. I am also helping with the footwashing at the Maunday Thurs. service (Vestry asked to do this), and also in serving and  CLEANING UP after our Easter Sunday service coffee hour. 
   
  Haven't heard from some of you lovely people. Are you still out there? Do you still want to group? 
   
  God Bless and have a very meaningful Holy Week and a Blessed Easter!
   
  Lynn Drake,
  Sts. Peter and Paul, Portland, Oregon
