The Liturgy of Leave-Taking

The Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost, October 30, 2022, Christ Church and St. Aidan’s had a Celebration of Leave-Taking for our Rector, the Reverend Lynn Rutledge+. It was a wonderful celebration and a great luncheon where both churches said goodbye to Lynn+ as she begins the next phase of her life. Lynn+ presented us with her keys to the churches and we presented her with a gift to the Holy Land as a joint gift from both churches. Lynn+ will travel to Israel, Jordan and Egypt next June for two weeks with members of her family. This is her trip of a lifetime, and she was speechless in receiving this wonderful farewell gift.
