Searching For A New Rector
Update - JUNE 21, 2009
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
The rector search
committee met Monday evening, June 15th, and solidified our focus on three very attractive rector candidates. With the bishop’s help and the assistance of our diocesan consultant Stephen
Askew, we have been able to complete our reference checks and proceed with formal background checks on each of these three
candidates as well.

Wine Tasting Attracts Several Guests
The Pinot Grigio tasting last Friday night was attended by 23 people, including several first time
attendees. Below are the results with the rankings and prices. Every single wine was rated number one by at least one person,
so the important thing is to remember what you liked. cont. Small Groups
St. Francis Coffee
Mugs Now Available
Show your St. Francis
spirit as you sip your morning cup of coffee or tea! Our cheerful saint raises
his arms in blessing to the animals on these classy green and white ceramic mugs.
The mugs are included
in the welcome bags given as part of our Hospitality ministry to guests and visitors on Sunday mornings, but members are invited
to purchase their own mugs for $ 8 each. All the monies collected from sales
to members will go to fund the purchase of mugs for the welcome bags.
You will want to buy an extra mug
to take to work too—they are great conversation-starters and may enable you to extend an invitation to a coworker to
come visit St. Francis. The mugs are available in the narthex. See Kevin Sneary for additional information.
Marie Sugrue New Administrative Assistant at St. Francis
Please welcome Marie to St. Francis. Below is a short bio so we can all get to know her better.
After living in Atlanta, Georgia
for a number of years, Marie has returned to the Chattanooga area to be closer
to family. Prior to her recent move back, she worked directly for a reputable
business owner the last 16 years helping to build, grow and manage two successful real estate companies, Jenny Pruitt &
Associates, REALTORS and Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International. Before
getting into real estate, she worked for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company assisting with their marketing efforts and also worked
for The Krystal Company here in Chattanooga preceding her move to Atlanta.
Marie has two grown children,
Kristin and Matt, both in Atlanta and she now lives with her husband, Pat, right
here in beautiful Ooltewah.
Bishop Sanders Visits St. Francis
We really enjoyed Bishop Sanders visit. He and his wife were very gracious and charming people.
I know everyone enjoyed his sermon and talking with them during the luncheon.cont. Latest News
Another Successful Wine Tasting Even
Thanks to the Hamms
The Syrah tasting last Saturday night saw the highest attendance yet,
with 27 participants. A special thanks to Mike Bowland and Gale Reed for having such a rowdy crowd at their home. cont.

Campers Schedule Next
Event
Hello
all who did not get to the little meeting this morning. Our camping trip to Tellico, Tennessee, (Indian Boundary) will be May 14th through the 19th. You
can reserve dates before the 14th. We are going into camping loop
“A”. I have site “5” and the Landstreets have “7”. Several around us are empty “Now”, but you must reserve in the next few
days as they will fill fast. You can reserve a site at recreation.gov, then click
“Camping” and go from there. We hope to see you there.

THE HOPE MASONS
Building
Hope- One Brick At A Time
We
had our first meeting and named our team. We had discussed getting Bo Armstrong
to show us how to make bricks to sell to raise money and that inspired the naming of our team.
John Rouser mentioned that the company where he works is just down the road from where the Relay is going to be held
and he has already had it approved for us to use the building as a “staging area” for our team that night. We also briefly discussed fundraisers. Several
ideas have been suggested such as a carwash, bake sale, etc.
We will have T-shirts made for us to wear that
night. If anyone would like to sponsor us either personally or with your company
we would be glad to talk to you about putting your name on the T-shirts or on our booth.
This is a team for the Relay for Life walkathon
for the American Cancer Society walkathon which takes place on May 1st,
COME
AND JOIN US!
