CLERGY ROTATION
ECWK has served as a "sabbatical site" in which a priest offers Sunday services at St. Paul's and St. John's, and emergency pastoral care. This ministry began in January 2012 and is ending January 31, 2022. This has been a very successful ministry as we have been blessed by many wonderful ministers, each with a different style and gift for the Word of God. We give thanks for their many ministries and for becoming such good friends of ECWK.
The Rev. Pete & Penny Wright
Redlands, CA
December & January
Penny and I are looking forward to returning to our “home away from home” in Kekaha, and to being able to serve the Lord at St. Paul’s and St. John’s in December and January. Please know that serving the Lord there has got to be one of the most rewarding experiences in the life of this priest and his wife. Why? Not because of the weather or the slowing down of the pace of life. Not because of Smith’s luau, Waimea Canyon, the Swinging Bridge, Hanalei Bay, Kauai Coffee, Manny’s Harleys or the Napali Coast. But it is because of the PEOPLE. You. Each of you. Please know that you all add a tremendous amount of love and peace to the lives of us Mainlanders who live in a hustling and bustling metropolis that constantly calls out to us to GO, GO, GO.
This past year, since our return from our last ministry on Kauai in January, we gave thanks to God for the brilliant minds he gave to the scientists who developed the vaccine, and to all those medical people who still put their lives on the line for us. As a result of all that, we have a new lease on life that gave us some freedom to venture out and visit our children and grandchildren in Colorado, Iowa and Missouri, and Penny’s family in the St. Louis area. We also got to attend our Colorado granddaughter’s high school graduation and to welcome her to her new life in California at Pepperdine University in Malibu. And our son and 2 of our granddaughters from Norway came to visit (they could come here, but Norway said NYET to anyone visiting there. We wondered if Governor Ige had a relative heading up the Norwegian government!
Until we meet in December, give glory and praise to God in all that you say and do. He loves you and so do we.
