[Magdalen] Prayer request - Christ Church, Montpelier

[Jon Egger]

Prayers rising from West Missouri, also.  This reminds me of the work Old
Trinity is finally doing on the church, which has suffered years of benign
neglect.  I hope the construction company does have insurance.  Any
contracts between churches and construction companies in WestMo have to be
approved by the diocesan chancellor, a very busy man who works pro bono,
before they can be signed.

Grace & peace,
Deacon Jon Egger
