Future Clericus Luncheons
Dear Friends:
Thank you for your responses to the email announcing our upcoming Clericus Luncheon on February 26th (noon at The Blue Water Grill in Redondo Beach). If you have not yet responded, let me know if you will be able to attend or not.
Here are the dates for future Clericus Luncheons for this academic year. Please note that I would like to have us go to different parts of the Deanery for these luncheons. So, if you know of restaurants in your area that might be a good place to gather, please let me know. If the Blue Water is acceptable to the group, we can continue to meet there, but I just don't want to have this become a reason for folks not being able to attend due to distance or other circumstances.
I am posting this information on our Clericus Blog site at http://clericus8.blogspot.com/. We can also use this site to let one another know of special activities and news in our various churches. This might help Elizabeth have such information for her Diocesan Council report and allow us to keep up with one another between our gatherings. If you would like, I can set up a Clericus 8 Face Book site as well. Let me know.
So, here are the dates for our future luncheons:
February 26th Noon Blue Water Grill Redondo Beach
March 26th Noon TBD TBD
April 23rd Noon TBD TBD
May 28th Noon TBD TBD
June 18th Noon TBD TBD

Clericus Luncheon: February 26th at Noon
Dear Friends:
It has been a busy season in many of our churches and I am hoping that we can come together for lunch together on February 26th at Noon. We will gather this time at the Blue Water Grill, but I would like for us to select another location that is closer to the south eastern area of the deanery as our alternating site for future lunches. If you have names of restaurants that we can easily access, please let me know so we can consider these spots for our next gathering.
The Blue Water Grill is located in Redondo's King Harbor. You can find information about the restaurant and its location at this site:
http://www.bluewatergrill.com/locations/redondo_beach.htm. Please contact me by return email to let me know if you are able to attend or not. I look forward to seeing all of you who can attend.
God's Peace in the Gathering,
Bob

Saint Cross and Christ Church News
Saint Cross in Hermosa Beach is undergoing some major renovations after a successful capital campaign. Having grown up in the parish it was truly joyful to see St. Cross add solar panels on top of their parish hall and offices to light up the whole plant. Hats off to the clergy, vestry, and people of St. Cross. YEAH!!
Christ Church, Redondo Beach had a fire on May 11, 2008 (yes, on Pentecost Sunday). The parish hall and parish hall kitchen and closets have been closed since the fire and the Christian Education and Office building are now open again.

The day will include an opportunity to discuss how to maintain one's spiritual and emotional well being in a financially stressed congregation.It is designed to help clergy overcome isolation, deal in a healthy way with stress, "think outside the box," share resources and creative ideas, avoid "miracle grow" solutions and the "myth of success," foster partnerships, create working groups for on-going strategizing and mutual support, and nurture realistic hope.
Church of the Epiphany is centrally located within a mile of Interstate 5, near Interstate 10. Cost for the day is $10 (for lunch). The rest of the cost is being underwritten by several clergy in the diocese. The event is sponsored by the L. A. Clergy Association. To RSVP, please contact the Rev.
