This Sunday we celebrate our patron, Dunstan, whose creativity, courage, and deep faith continue to shape the life of our parish. Our music will lean into the day, including pieces written and arranged by former Saint Dunstan's Choirmaster and Organist Eliot Glaser. After worship, we'll gather as a parish family to give thanks for the community that has grown here since 1963.
A quick update: thanks to some very soggy weather, we're moving our picnic indoors to Daniels Hall. We're looking forward to sharing a meal together, playing Dunstan-themed Bingo with prizes, and enjoying a few surprises along the way. For our younger parishioners, we'll also have Dunstan coloring books available. Rain may have changed the location, but it won't dampen the celebration.
As we celebrate Dunstan this weekend, I keep returning to one of the things I love most about his story: he never separated faith from everyday life. Whether working with metal, making music, serving the church, or confronting the occasional devil, Dunstan trusted that God could be found in the ordinary work before him.
May we do the same this week.
