"Plenty of Work for Love to Do” ** is the theme of Marilyn’s photography show at Brendan’s 101 in Rowayton,
March 24th to April 11th. The opening reception is Saturday evening, March 27th from 7 to 9 pm. Please come,
and bring all your friends, to see photos of children, and their guardians too, who have touched us and
helped to open our hearts. (** from “Tea Time for the Traditionally Built” by Alexander McCall Smith) During this Lenten season, Pope Bendict XVI prays that “we all take account of the needs of all peoples, especially the poorest of the poor.” You can help poor children in Kenya by purchasing a photo (or two) in the show or in Photo Mart.
Bob and Jennifer Chedester, and their five children (who are all adopted), are preparing to move to Rift Valley Academy in Kenya, after spending 12 years in Fort Portal, Uganda, where they did missionary support work. If you’d like to help them with moving expenses, please contact them at chedmail-kenya@yahoo.com
Every other Tuesday, John (the bread dude) picks up day-old bread, and cakes too, from Trader Joe’s in
Darien and delivers it all to Manna House (also known as Norwalk Emergency Shelter). And the first Saturday
of the month, we and other friends from Noroton Presbyterian Church, serve lunch to over 100 hungry,
and mostly homeless, men and women in South Norwalk. ![]() Our home is a far cry from The White House, but we and our gourmand friends enjoyed “A State Dinner” here, consisting of Southern US and Indian dishes – the inspiration for which came from The First Lady’s menu for their dinner last November, with their guest of honor from India.
Rowayton friends and neighbors gathered for our annual Sunday Brunch. We were pleased to meet one of
the sponsors of children from St. John Bosco Children’s Centre in Kitali, Kenya. She and many others
from St. John Church in Darien are helping twenty three children to go to school. Praise God! Heavenly Father, source of all love, you gave us love in Your Son, Jesus Christ. He taught us love by His life and death; help us to imitate the divine example. Let us reflect your love in our families, with friends and associates. Let us forgive quickly when hurt; be gentle when angry. Grant us peace in Your love, knowing that our quest for love will find fulfillment only when we rest in Thee. ~ Maryknoll |
