A lot of life is suiting up and showing up, also doing what is in front of you that needs doing….My friend, Kevin Towe

Confirmation Sunday @ St. Peter’s Episcopal

Today was a special day at church where my wife and I were confirmed into the Episcopal Church. I am blessed to be in a place that values people and shares Christ to people of all walks of life. Our Bishop came to confirm four people, preach and deliver the Eucharist.

St. Peter’s and the greater Episcopal church allows me to believe with my mind, heart and soul. We are connected with the global Anglican communion which excites me being an Anglophile and all. I am grateful the church has helped me appreciate the power of scripture in worship. Now, as I begin my life in a new place of worship I am looking forward to sharing with you what I discover.

This is the day the Lord has made. We celebrate Him at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.

A Ramble About Perception
