The Reverend Doctor Eric Menees Elected New Bishop
of the Diocese of San Joaquin

 

More than 800 people celebrated the consecration of Eric Vawter Menees on Saturday September 24, 2011 at Peoples Church in Fresno, California. Bishop Eric Menees became the fifth bishop of the diocese when he was enthroned as diocesan bishop on October 22, 2011, as Bishop John-David Schofield retires.  Bishop Schofield was consecrated in the same church on October 9, 1988.

Menees was elected by the clergy and delegates of the Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin on May 14, 2011 and consecrated as Bishop Co-adjutor on September 24th by Archbishop Robert Duncan and bishops John-David Schofield, William Thompson, Bill Atwood and William Murdoch.

Bishop Menees will be taking pastoral responsibility for over 100 clergy and 41 churches ranging from Southern California to Elk Grove, near Sacramento, and as far east as Henderson, Nevada near Las Vegas.  These clergy and congregations are members of the Anglican Church in North America, which is a province in the 85 million member worldwide Anglican Communion.

Bishop Menees and his family recently moved to Clovis, near Fresno where the cathedral and offices of the Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin are located.  Bishop Menees and his family formerly lived in San Marcos, California where Eric served as Rector of the Anglican Church of the Resurrection. Menees is married and has two children.

Special Group Activites

Grief Support Group

St. Paul's Grief Support Group will be meeting at Kashy's home on the third Tuesday of each month. The group is open to anyone who has suffered a loss of a loved one through death or divorce, or has experienced the loss of job, a broken relationship, losing a pet or any other loss. It is a time of sharing and caring about each other and trusting God to carry us through these difficult times in our lives.
God does not promise to protect us from painful circumstances, but He does promise something even better. He promises that those painful circumstances cannot separate us from Him.
If you are interested in this group, please contact Betty Peters or Kashy Rowland-Smith or call the church office at 732-4821.

Ongoing Events

The Men's Friday Morning Breakfast and Bible Study will continue to meet throughout the spring at Valhalla Restaurant at 6:30 A.M. each week. Throughout Lent a special discussion is held based on John Edredge's book Walking with God.  All men are invited.

Sunday Coffee Hours
Everyone enjoys coffee, sweets and fellowship, but it takes volunteers to provide the details. A BIG THANK YOU is due to everyone who has responded to the call for help! Cathy Guadagni and Kathie Shannon have assumed responsibility for organizing the coffee hour teams, and numerous people have agreed to serve.  Be sure to stop in after either service to enjoy good fellowship and good coffee & sweets.
