8 ANNOUNCEMENTS WE EXTEND OUR GRATITUDE to our volunteers Courtney Gao (Reader), Ruthie Lewis (Reader), and Molly Logan (Usher) for donating their time to assist during today’s worship service. Those wishing to assist in our worship service as readers, ushers, Communion assistants, please email [email protected].

MANY THANKS TO OUR GUEST PREACHER, THE REV. MATTHEW R. DUTTON- GILLETT. The Rev. Matthew R. Dutton-Gillett has served as Rector of Trinity Church in Menlo Park, an Episcopal Community, since 2009. Prior to coming to Menlo Park, he served Episcopal churches in Missouri, Illinois, and Tennessee. He completed his undergraduate education at Michigan

State University’s James Madison College in International Relations, concentrating in Soviet and East

European Affairs. He went on to earn the Master of Divinity degree from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Matthew believes that the essence of the Christian journey is transformation in our own lives, and in the lives of the communities and systems of which we are a part, a transformation that deepens our compassion for and connection to all people, and for our planet. He has been profoundly influenced by the work of Rene Girard and James Alison, and the way this work transforms our understanding of God’s relationship with the violence that is often attributed to God in the Bible. He is currently working on a book on the nature of the Christian journey.

Please join us in the Round Room after today’s service for a light lunch and a talkback with our guest preacher.
