Last Sunday I got to celebrate the last day of summer with a nice ride through the Metroparks. The Connections group had their annual bike ride from Boston Mills to Peninsula with Lunch at the Winking Lizard. Jennifer and Chris Clancy did a great job organizing it. In this picture they are reacting to me telling them that whoever organized the ride is responsible for riding with the kids, while the rest of us would ride ahead and meet them at the end. Actually, the kids did great – we made it all the way there and back with no crying. Jen and Chris are a great couple and are very involved in the parish. Many of you would know them because they taught the Baptism class for years. It is so good to have them as part of the Connections group. The group is always open to any married couples in our parish and is a great way to connect with other couples. It has helped many to really experience St. Barnabas as a family. There are so many good people in this parish like the Clancy’s. It has been a real joy for me to get to know them and so many of you. It’s through being involved in the parish that we really experience the Communion that Jesus desires for us.
