Shalom Anglican

 Friends of Shalom, Merry Christmas to you all!  Thanks so much for your prayers and support to us these first two months. I'm sorry I haven't been able to post in awhile. I've been sick and was out of town for 4 days for a personal retreat. Here are some highlights. - We held our first "shalom kids" team meeting with two other couples. We were able to plan and work on our vision for kids at shalom as we head into the new year. - Most of our core team is giving and we received our first official church support. Thanks to Seaside Church in Bremerton! - This Saturday we'll be having communion together for the first time.  - I continue to meet with folks interested in what we're doing.  Here is the weekly word. As we end the new year, please consider giving a one time gift to Shalom Anglican. We're so grateful to you all! You can do so here .  We're taking next week off so the next time you'll hear from me will be on 2024! Merry Christmas! -Rob an

We got word that we have our first official sponsoring church that has committed to $500 a month! Many in our core group have also begun giving to Shalom. Our core continues growing in our Anglican identity and community together!  Thank you for your continued prayers.  Here is a link to the weekly word that I did last week. This wee
