O Come Emmanuel

The Federation of St. Scholastica, an organization of 20 American Benedictine women's communities of which we are one, (there are three other federations in the country, also), will be celebrating its 100 year anniversary soon. To that end there is a page on the federation's website that is dedicated to pre-celebration events--one is the sharing of weekly reflections by various community members. This month and next I was asked to be that person. 

Many of my reflections are taken from ideas that came, over the years, from this blog. If you are interested in taking a look, you can find the first two weeks here.

Other news this weekend comes from the premier appearance of the handbell choir for the 2020-2021 season. Sunday's prayer included our playing of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"--fitting for the season. It came off without a hitch, as they say, but that is no small feat because we have two "rookies" in the choir of 10 ringers. Congrats Jen and Colleen on your debut--you were just great! Rookies no longer.
