Dear Members and Friends of St. Matthew's,
Well, the great day has arrived. After ten years of study and preparation, The Rev. Don Sackett will be ordained to the ancient and Sacred Order of Priests this Saturday, July 24, 11:00 a.m. at St. Matthew's Anglican Church, Weaverville, by the Most Rev. Walter Grundorf, our Bishop. Fr. Don, Paulette and their four children hope that all of you can be there to celebrate with them. The offering that day is a gift to Fr. Don and his family. Following the service, Fr. Don will bestow his first Priestly Blessings to all that come to the Altar Rail.
There will be a gala Ordination Luncheon in the Parish Hall following the service. The luncheon is being provided by the Kitchen Guild and friends under the leadership of Alma Lambert.
Flowers for the service and for Sunday are given to the Glory of God by Alma Lambert, Larry Allison, Pat & Alan Shaw, Kathy Means, Jean & Rick Benfield, Kathy Evascu, Mary Jane & Jack Westall.
The white set of vestments that Fr. Don will put on during the service are a gift to him from the members of the Altar Guild under the leadership of Jean Benfield.
Fr. Don will celebrate his first Holy Communion at St. Matthew's at the 11:00 a.m. service, Sunday, July 25. You will want to be there.
