The Rev. Susan Scranton, rector, and other leaders and friends of Grace Episcopal Church in Glendora, during my visit in February.
On the tenth day of Christmas
It’s a blessing to recall
Ten Graces a-bounding
Nine for confirming
Eight father’s unioners
Seven tots a-toiling
Six great Granadians
Five Lambeth friends!
Four priests a-partying
Three mitered angels
Two cuddling canons
And wedging prayers into the Western Wall.
