5/06/2010	SJPDS Annual Report to SJEC Parish In scripture, St. John’s third letter essentially begins, “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in health; I know that it is well with your soul.” This same sentiment has been the guiding light of the relationship between St. John’s PDS and St. John’s Church this year. The reciprocal sense of gratitude, of a mutual wish for the well-being of both communities, has permeated all that we have accomplished together – it has been an omnipresent “GPS system” for us, keeping us on a journey together toward ever-increasing cooperation and communion.

1/20/2010	"Starting Over" by The Rev. Daniel Heischman, NAES Exec. Dir. When teachers and students merely correct errors, we get the answer right. But good teaching does not stop with mere correction. When we genuinely learn from our mistakes, we learn about something much more than the right answer, we learn about ourselves, particularly about our ability to grow from those errors, indeed that we have been blessed with the God-given opportunity to start over.
