Belonging and Aging Gracefully

I’ve always considered St. Andrew’s a place of belonging. Once you belong (which is immediately), you always belong—if that’s what you want. For instance, I remain good friends with parishioners who’ve moved away or left for other reasons. Belonging transcends time and space.

So, it was lovely to see this Christmas letter from a longtime parishioner, Marydoris Powers, who moved away many years ago. But she hasn’t lost her connection to our community. It’s a letter of love and belonging, and an inspiration as well as an example of aging gracefully. It’s a glimpse of God’s light shining on us all. I hope you enjoy it! You can read the letter here.
