COLLECT OF THE DAY
O God, who on the holy mount revealed to chosen witnesses your well-beloved Son, wonderfully transfigured, in raiment white and glistening: Mercifully grant that we, being delivered from the disquietude of this world, may by faith behold the King in his beauty; who with you, O Father, and you, O Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen..

You, O Eternal Trinity,
are a deep sea into which,
the more I enter,
the more I find,
and the more I find,
the more I seek.
O abyss,
O eternal Godhead,
O sea profound,
what more could you give me than yourself?
God's grace, unsought and unearned,
blows through my life,
and all I need to do
is raise my sails to catch the full wind.
Catherine of Siena 1347-1380

PLEDGES - A Gentle Reminder
Are your pledge payments up to date? Summer travel and much needed rejuvenation schedules make it easy to fall behind, but our ability to meet our expenses during the summer depends upon your continued generosity and consistency.

|
DID YOU KNOW?
After the second service on Sundays, the altar flowers are distributed to people for a variety of reasons - from birthday celebrations or anniversaries, to those who have been ill or are suffering a bereavement. If you would like to suggest someone to receive flowers, please speak with Mo.Alon, Mo. Emily, or Sally Ann Mock on Sunday morning, or call the office during the week.

PEOPLE TO PEOPLE
Summer is a no vacation for People to People. Church attendance and work schedules are altered and the amount of food collected is reduced. But our neighbors who depend on food donations from People to People still need support. You may not be in church every Sunday this summer but try to remember to bring non-perishable food for the Social Ministry basket in the narthex when you are there (bring a bit extra to make up for those missed Sundays).
|
|
SUMMER REFRESHMENTS
"Coffee Hour" takes place following the 10:00am service, and -- weather permitting -- we'll soon be serving punch outdoors. Your refreshment offerings -- cookies, brownies, tasty treats -- are always welcome -- and will be appreciated by all. Bring when the spirit so moves!

It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
"The Real Work" by Wendell Berry, from The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry. Counterpoint, 1999
