Sandy Holbrook update

Sandy is now at PAM Rehab in south Fargo. She arrived there on Saturday evening July 4 from Rapid City, where she suffered a stroke on June 29. I brought her Holy Communion and Anointed her for healing on Sunday afternoon and had a wonderful conversation. Sandy is looking good and speaking well. She is well on the road to recovery. Still keep the prayers coming, though.

-peace,

Fr. Jamie+

 

WORSHIP AT OLD ST STEPHEN’S

On Sunday July 26 at 11:00 a.m., we will be gathering not in our regular church building but in the old stone church in Casselton, ND that is now the Casselton Heritage Center. We will gather for Morning Prayer, a sermon, music on the pipe organ and a celebration of our common history. This beautiful stone building was originally St Stephen’s Episcopal Church from 1886–

1951. When that congregation closed its doors, we inherited several items from that original congregation, as well as its name. The building is marking its 140th anniversary of its dedication. This autumn will make our 70th year of ministry as St Stephen’s in Fargo.
