>>>Transitions
UPDATE FOR THE WEEK OF 12 OCTOBER to 19 OCTOBER 2014
Shelly's here! The transition team volunteers - Carlotta Han, Liz Osbourne, and Geneva and Sean Hudspeth will be working with Shelly and Aaron to help them settle into Seattle life and into the U District. The vestry will
be working with Shelly to identify, over the next 3 months, 2-3 tasks we want to jointly accomplish over the next
year.
Please join us for Coffee Hour today to welcome Shelly and her wife, Aaron Scott, to the parish. And don't
forget to RSVP for 1 November if you haven't already! [email protected].
WE'RE HAVING A PARTY!!
In case you didn't know, we're having a party on Saturday, Nov. 1st, when Bishop Rickel comes to participate in
our Celebration of New Ministry. The service starts at noon, the party follows and a good time will be had by all.
In order to bring this off, we need help. We still need:

people to help St. Faith's Guild with the potluck party, setup, cleanup, serve or just bring food! Please sign up
with your intentions or contact the parish office.

people to assist in the worship part: We need 1-2 more ushers, and some greeters to help answer questions
or direct folk to parking, childcare, restrooms, the undercroft, etc. (information will be provided so you know
what to say). Please sign up or contact the office.
Sign up sheets are at the back of the church. Thanks to those who have already volunteered.
Donations: General expenses of the day will be covered by the call process fund; however, all money in the plate
that isn't explicitly designated (e.g. for a pledge) will be used to jumpstart Shelly's discretionary fund. If you want to
specifically donate to Shelly’s discretionary fund, write the check to “Christ Episcopal Church” and note
“discretionary fund” in the memo line. And if you are dropping off a check for any other purpose that day (e.g.
pledge), be sure to note the purpose in the memo line.
We are expecting an overflow crowd, so please RSVP at [email protected] so we know how many
to expect both in the Nave and at the party following. Thanks!
The Parish said “Thank You” to the Rev. Sue Reid on her last
Sunday, Oct. 12. One of our toddlers made a point of holding her
hand during the service, and a lovely cake was provided at Coffee
Hour. Sue Pilarski and crew gave Sue a colorful quilted hanging.
Kudos to Work Party: The
Ravenna Park clean-up team
worked Sunday, Oct. 12, after
church and Sue's farewell party in
the same area of the park they
have cleared before. Under the
guidance of Ann Stevens from the
Friends of Ravenna Park they
cleared and opened up a space
along a thoroughfare in the park.
Three years ago a large group
tackled a place where Himalayan
blackberries and other large invasive weeds had usurped a
space. Huge piles of debris mounded up after the work
party. Last year a smaller group turned out to nip in the bud
any remaining blackberries and invasives.
This year Mary Lou Hatcher, Kathy Chamberlain, Owen
Ewald, Gus Webster, and Joan Burton worked again on the
same area. This time they could see some bare ground in
places and vestiges of planted native plants, such as
penstemon and geum, coming up. Gus brought down
several dead trees to open up the space to more sun and
light. Blackberries were dug up and seedling weed trees
were uprooted.
The work party was followed by a picnic on Ravenna Park
tables consisting of cupcakes, cookies, sandwiches, and
vegetables. Workers agreed the work party was fun and
that they would like to come again. ~ Joan Burton
Save the date! The Christmas Tea will be held on
Saturday, December 13. Festive decorations, good
