will be re-named "St Brigid the Frigid Lutheran" Laughing

The Boiler was given the Lutheran Last Rites yesterday, after a unsuccessful week of prayer vigils and plumbers! It sucummbed to natural cause of old age.

Also, our one chance to get a new building was stymied when the Gas Company finally capped a leak this week they had created in the church when they dug up the sidewalk next to the church, damn! Twisted Evil

For some reason I found it odd that they had to get through an access panel in a stairway in the church building... Confused

For snyone in this area, you are aware that the Gas Company has a bad reputation lately, with another house being blown to smithereeens just this week in Hyde Park! oooops. Embarassed

Our final liturgy in the main sanctuary will be today, All Saints Sunday, at 55 degrees at last check. I am guessing we will move to the downstairs Fellowship Hall with heaters for the duration, until the gods of RLC make a decision on how to come up with $30,000.

On the bright side, there is only one piano down there, so I may get another Sabbatical ! Rolling Eyes

Now let's all sing "Sometimes I Feel, like a boilerless church ".

Oh my! Sorry to hear that! No heat as winter approaches is definitely an emergency situation! Wasn't it not long ago that you had damage from an ice storm and had to move to another location? Am I wrong?

On the bight side..If you were Catholic, my guess is that Cardinal Sean would most likely suppress the parish rather than pay out that kind of money.

Or...maybe this could be a sign...retirement? Shocked

A big brown envelope arrived yesterday...thanks. Will read.

Well, just got back...2 1/2 hour liturgy, 53 degrees and all ! And in spite of the cold, a good 70 people came to honor their ancestors. Cool

Then we spent some time, having an emergency meeting about the situation, moving the "portable" altar downstairs where we can get electric baseboard heating for next week.

Retirement, there's an idea ! Twisted Evil

Oh, Randy, sorry to hear that. I'm still playing Lotto, so you never know! $30 grand...wow! We just don't get the effects of cold weather here anymore; just today at the 9, someone only put on 1 of the 3 A/C units on since it was a little cool this morning and people complained about the heat!

I hope you find a benefactor to pay the bill! Keep the faith!

Peace,
Ron
