WindCradle Retreat, 8 miles NE of Grand Marais, has a guest house available for quiet reflection and rest. Sit on the beach, walk the Superior Hiking Trail or relax in the sauna or jacuzzi. Cost is $85 per day; $15 extra for simple food. Pictures are available on the WindCradle website. For more information, contact Rev. Mary Ellen Ashcroft, 866-586-2224. If you are in paid ministry -- lay or ordained -- in the Diocese of Minnesota and are in need of rejuvenation but find the cost prohibitive, please write to Bishop Jelinek at the Episcopal Center for possible assistance.

The Armed Forces Prayer Book and Episcopal Service Medals are available as a gift from Bishop Jelinek to all members of the Armed Forces serving on active duty from the Diocese of Minnesota. The prayer book has been published by the Office of the Bishop for the Armed Forces.  The book contains both English and Spanish sections.  The Episcopal medal is authorized to be worn with the service member's id tags.  Often, the book is blessed and presented to a service member during a church service.  However, this is not required.  For more information, contact Chaplain LTC (retired) Stephen Schaitberger at stephenschaitberger@charter.net or (800) 596-3839, ext. 325.
