On Saturday, May 2, at 7:00pm, and Sunday, May 3, at 3:00pm, I'll be wearing a very short poodle skirt and leading a cast of fellow crazy Episcopalians in a tribute to the music and culture of the 1950s.
- Your favorite tunes, from Bill Haley to Elvis Presley!
- Men's synchronized swimming!
- Terrible vintage commercials!
- A real rock-and-roll band!
It's a ton of fun: what we may lack in skill, we more than make up for in enthusiasm and joy. Tickets are $10; all proceeds support the ministries and programs of St. Paul's.

Friends in Bedford/Burlington/Billerica and all other B and non-B town in Massachusetts: Come to Flatbread in Bedford tomorrow night, March 10, for a Benefit Night for my church's upcoming mission trip to West Virginia with Appalachia Service Project.
Flatbread will donate $3.50 for every large pizza and $1.75 for every small pizza purchased toward our trip. Takeout and curbside pickup are available, so you don't even have to get out of the car.
Remember you are but dust, and to dust you shall return.
Also, stop looking at my forehead.

Everyone's favorite
Christian next door is at it
again. Say amen.
Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace by Anne Lamott. Riverhead, 2014, 304 pages.
Lights, please.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'" That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
Local friends, stop by tomorrow for fabulous crafts, gift baskets, handmade items, and more! I'll be manning the raffle table (win a FitBit One or a Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition!) and helping our youth mission trip-goers sell Lumps O' Coal (perfect for stocking stuffers!) to fund our summer adventure to West Virginia with Appalachia Service Project.
