A weekend in the Tri-Cities

Once again this weekend the strong Spirit within congregations shone brightly.  Amidst the economic challenges we all face, the congregation of St. Paul’s, Kennewick, let by an optimistic and enthusiastic Rector and Vestry, celebrated the day with Confirmations, Reaffirmations and Renewal of Baptismal Vows that signified greater emphasis on future possibilities than distress over persistent roof repair.

And Church of our Saviour/Nuestro Salvador congregations in Pasco, a small group with dwindling numbers met in a church building in disrepair to voice by presence and participation their commitment and depth of faith in emerging future possibilities. The  evening continued with a generous and delicious pot of Tamales and desserts that symbolized hospitality and a genuine spirit of community.
