Galveston Mission on Sunday, February 15 by Pat Genereux

Sunday, February 15, 2009 ~
...attended the liturgy at Grace Church. Grace had some flooding. When I asked one or two parishioners about the size of their congregation, they were no longer sure of what size they were or are not fully aware of the exact number of parishioners. Apparently, a number of folks have not come back yet, and others haven't been to church much since Hurricane Ike.

Paul Wehner, the rector, has a very positive, can-do attitude even though for the time being he is working out of his secretary's living room. Needless to say, he is looking forward to getting back into their newly remodeled parish hall and getting the nave floor refinished. There is a lot yet for them to do, but having survived yet another hurricane (including the 1900 killer storm), they know what to do to get on with their life as a parish, and their mission and ministry...
