Reading your writings or listening to you speak (teach) is like having a proverbial living library of dictionarys, encyclopedias and is truly a treasury of knowledge. Thank you for sharing it all !!
Many of us will look ahead in anticipation of more from you in the future.

]]> Comment on Jimmie confirmed at Bruton Parish by Jimmie http://epiphanynorfolk.org/2011/06/22/jimmie-confirmed-at-bruton-parish/#comment-120 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 05:05:47 +0000 http://epiphanynorfolk.org/?p=911#comment-120 I would like to say thank you to Father Richard and Rev. Carol for helping me to get where I am in my faith by opening their arms to a lost stranger in the name of Jesus of which was like to me opening a door to real life. They have helped me with their Christ like love and homilies in guiding me so that I may experience in my own way the love of Christ with feeling the Holy Spirit guide me to my own personal full relationship in being a servant for God.

I need to also thank Jim, Kevin, Dawn, Nancy, Shirley, and Wes for being gracious towards me by traveling to Williamsburg to witness my public commitment to our Lord and being confirmed into the Episcopal Church. That day meant more to me than I could possibly explain in words. The feeling I experienced to be baptized in the way of being confirmed for my commitment to our Lord was rather overwhelming. It kinda reminded me of my babtisim in water in the feeling of happiness and a sence of fullfillment by the Holy Spirit by renewing my being. I have a true sense of something amazing is about to happen but only in His time will anything happen and what it will be I am not sure. I do believe my life has taken a more postitve step by being able to fellowship with others in our beliefs, the reading and lessons of the Holy Bible, as well as serving our fellow christian brothers and sisters.

I feel I have found a church family in Christ through the Holy Spirit that lives at Epiphany and I am always going to cheerish in my heart and continue to keep our Epiphany family and the Episcopal Church in my prayers to continue to share and give the love of Christ in which Jesus has commanded us to do. I know the Holy Spirit lives at our parish because of the love, peace, tolerance, and the diversity with utmost importance of seeking Christ as our common bond. We share all those things with each other that I have personally experienced with just about everyone in our parish whether it has been for a minute or whether it has been time well spent sitting around a table during one of our Sunday afternoon lunches.

I thank everyone of you for the acceptance into the Epiphany parish and for ringing our church bell.

Love in Christ,
Jimmie

It is absolutely amazing to watch. When Richard mentions that something needs some attention, or someone else notices that something needs attention, the reactions of our members and non-members (regular attendees) is somethng to behold. This is what has kept me a member of Epiphany Norfolk since 1972, since that “magic spirit” was what I found initially and for the most part has carried on through all of the past years. 3 Cheers for our entire warm spirited Epiphany Norfolk family!*
