Day
4 A Realization
We had a very productive day at St. John Kill. The main
color in the chancel area of the sanctuary was finished and it looks fabulous.
The brass is polished, the wood is cleaned and oiled. We refinished the front
door and painted the iron railings at the entrance. Brush was cut and hauled
away. And we had fun doing it!

In the evening some of our group went to a Wednesday
prayer and reflection service at St. David in Naas and some of us went to a tea
hosted by the Garland’s at their beautiful home.
One thought for today. Where we are working, at St.
John’s in Kill, there is no running water. There are no toilets. There is no
central heating and certainly no central air. Parking is limited. There is no
sound system. And if you want a cushion on you pew you better bring it
yourself!
But there is the presence of God and the love and support
of the congregation. For hundreds of years people have gathered under those
seemingly harsh conditions for worship but they have come to experience God in
their midst and to live out that loving presence as a congregation.

And for that I say, “Thanks be to God.”
