Doctor Doctor, Gimme the News! Dr Suuqiina teaching...

Yes, you heard right: Dr. Suuqiina is teaching THIS FRIDAY and SATURDAY, September 2nd and 3rd.

You say you couldn't get a cheap air fare to Moscow to celebrate Labor Day? Well, you're in luck! You can come to St. Jude's in Burbank and receive a brilliant teaching by the always-thought-provoking and always-entertaining Dr. Suuqiina.

Friday evening, 7 pm to 9:30 and Saturday morning, 9:30 to noon. Be there or be cubic zirconium!

Cost is $25 per person or $35 for couples (but you can speak to Fr Chuck if you need some scholarship help).

Lent

Wednesday last marked the beginning of Lent and Father Chuck marked many of us with ashes. Lent is a good time for "internal sifting," as it were. It's also a good time to re-focus our prayers and right now, with this massive earthquake in Japan (8.9 on the Richter scale - beyond my ability to grasp) and our own David V.'s surgery, I'm praying with a special focus on Japan and on David & Debbie. Hope to see you at St. Jude's this Sunday....

Color band...?

Jeremy mentioned to me that he thought it would be neat if there was some indication of *where* we are in the liturgical year and I thought, "cool!" So I've put up a side bar with some links that I found kind of interesting and relevant and it shows the color of the church season.

Who knows if it will remain up?! Take a look and let me know what you think--

Congratulations to New Vestry Members!

Annual meeting yesterday, with lots of delicious food at our pot-luck luncheon. Many thanks for three years of faithful service on the vestry from Pat McKay, Krystyna Hackett, and Buzz Ayers and YAY! and WELCOME!! to our three new vestry members: Sarah Airriess, Dilhara Fernando, and Adam Golomski - it will be exciting to see what the Young and the Faithful bring to leadership at St Jude's!

Annual Meeting this Sunday, February 13, 2011

Yes, brother & sister Judeans, the Annual Meeting (and potluck!) is this Sunday and, to simplify life for everybody, including our priest, we will have ONE service at 9:30 a.m.

This means the early service parishioners may sleep in a bit (or perhaps prepare something really fancy) and the late service parishioners get to do their impersonation of Alice's White Rabbit.

But, despite the change to our standard schedule, we are always blessed to be together as a whole parish and the Annual Meeting is more fun than formal.

See you in church and then the Parish Hall!

Welcome to St Jude's Blog!

Now that we have a website, we also have a calendar and this blog.

It remains to be seen just how we'll use all this good web tech but, hey, we thought you'd like to know!
