may good 'things' come of this time together - may the days be pleasant all 
the better to concentrate on the work at hand, and may your time in this 
special place be both blessed and a blessing to all of you, and among you.

> In the early 1970's, the Diocese of Virginia, in an effort to
> communicate better and to encourage congregations to work together,
> put together groups of churches called Regions. Each region originally
> had about 5,000 communicants in as many churches as it took to make up
> that number, fewer in cities, more in rural areas. Our small church
> (the only Episcopal church in our county) is a member of Region 13
> along with 19 other small-to-medium churches. This year, I am the
> president of the Region 13 council.
>
> The Regional President's Retreat is at Shrine Mont this
> Friday-Saturday. The Diocese is "re-visioning" the regions. Hmmm. That
> could be interesting.

> Prayer pats please - it's been a long year of revisions for me with
