" Let the Word of Christ reachly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs..." Colossians 3: 16b
On the weekend of April
4 through 6, 2003, St. Edward's parish experienced a unique blend
of praise, prayer and "passing the peace" when it welcomed
over 40 Faith Alive visitors who joined with us to more deeply
explore our lives together as a Christian family. Words cannot
adequately describe the real sense of the Holy Spirit among us
as emotions ranged from laughter to tears (mostly of joy!!) and
the time seemed to fly by in a variety of venues both at the church,
other churchs, retirement homes, and parishoners homes. Nearly
eighty St. Edwardians combined their talents and time to make
this wonderful experience "happen" for the over one
hundred and forty participants. However, without the hours of
dedication and self-sacrifice from two very special parishoners
who were our coordinators, Amy Sweirnik and Dottie Gschwend,
the efforts
of many would have not blended into the symphony of success that
was heard from the parish hall to the sanctuary and beyond. The
memories are many and, of course, vary for each of those who were
present. But perhaps this small gallery that follows will help
capture at least some of the common joy shared by all.
