[Magdalen] P.S. Re: Update

[Marion Thompson]

Sigh.  Yeah.  Why is it that so many churches are really bad at this?  
Sometimes if one person is energetic and engaged with situations, others 
can be set into motion, but too often everyone just looks at everyone 
else and nobody does anything.  Isn't it what we are there for?

So, e-hugs, Molly, and the hope that some nice surprises happen soon.  
Am I right in thinking that you are in Gananoque but your church is in 
Kingston?  If so, that won't help.
