Hurrah! Fr. John Ng'oma arrived on Lopez Island on Monday 8/3, and we've already enjoyed hikes, tours, dinners, and a community presentation; John has also attended our island's ecumenical Men's Bible Study and the island Senior Lunch. We've had amazing conversations and been blessed with delicious food and fellowship. It is a joy to learn and share together. We are so grateful to the Diocese of Olympia for awarding us another Global Mission Grant, and for the partnership between ourselves, the Diocese of S. Malawi, and participating parishes in Western WA: St. George Episcopal Church - Maple Valley, WA, Emmanuel Episcopal/Orcas, St. David's Church in Friday Harbor.
