Kudos to the young people from St. John's, Carlisle, who head to Williamsport in a few days for a week of painting, trimming, and that-which-needs-doing at the four churches there. Theirs is one of several such trips this summer to destinations within the Diocese, along the

One more note: Diana commented on my mention of Jennifer Looker as the youngest priest in the Diocese.

Aha! Thanks for the clarification.
The workweek was a great success. Projects included helping with VBS at All Saints (west end of Williamsport), clean-up, stripping, painting, and mulching at Christ Church (downtown), mulching the Memorial Garden and other landscaping at Our Saviour (Montoursville)and painting in the Rectory at St. James (Muncy). And, some of our elderly will never forget the wonderful help with yard work and painting that they were given. St. Mary's jumped in and provided dinner on the first night - and parishioners at St. James, Our Saviour and Christ Church hosted on the other nights. What a wonderful time of fellowship, connection, and mission together. You all (youth, parent-leaders and clergy) are fantastic! Thank you! Christine Purcell+
