Dear Friends,
As you are aware, Sally Chambers-Rhea's last day of work at St. Bartholomew's is March 31, 2023. Please join us over the next few weeks in celebrating Sally's 12 years of ministry with St. B's!
There are three ways the congregation can show how much Sally’s service has meant to us over the years:
1. Notes/cards:
We ask you to consider thanking and encouraging Sally with handwritten or emailed letters, which we will be collecting in a keepsake box for Sally. Please mail or email your letters to Meredith Flynn at mflynn@stbs.net or at St. Bartholomew's Church, c/o Meredith Flynn, 4800 Belmont Park Terrace, 37215. If you plan to mail or email your letter, it would be great for it to arrive by Wednesday, March 29. You will also have an opportunity to write a note at the party celebrating Sally's ministry on April 2.
2. Gifting:
As is customary in the Episcopal Church and at St. Bartholomew’s, we will bless Sally with a purse for her continued ministry. Make a contribution to this gift by March 30, 2023, online >>>here (please select “Gift for Sally and Matt”) or by bringing a check to the church office. Please note that these donations are not tax-deductible. We also have plans for a gift of dedication that will remain at St. B's in Sally's name.
3. Celebration:
We ask you to attend worship on Palm Sunday, April 2. The wardens and Rev. Serena will thank and pray for Sally and Matt at both services that day! Please also join us at 10 a.m. for a party celebrating Sally's ministry, and Matt's support of her ministry, with treats, palm-cross making, and a chance to thank her in person.
We look forward to celebrating Sally and thanking her for her service to St. B's! Questions can be directed to Rev. Serena at ssides@stbs.net or Meredith Flynn at mflynn@stbs.net.
Faithfully yours,
