Collect Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplative Prayer: A Way of Recovery
Join us for an hour on the second Saturday morning of each month in Cummings Chapel at 9:30 a.m. to practice contemplative prayer as a means to transformation. There will be a welcome and introduction to the hour, then time for silent prayer of the heart and meditation. This will be followed by conversation.
If you are not familiar with the practice, come and hear about it. Come back if it is a fit for where you are on your path on the journey.

A Message from the Dean
 | The Very Reverend
Kate Moorehead, Dean |
Dear People of God,
I want to thank all of you for a glorious Pentecost Sunday. We welcomed 35 incredible individuals into the Episcopal Church. Thank you to everyone who baked cakes, sponsored confirmands, and organized the worship. A special thank you to Monica MacKenzie for her incredible organizational skills.
We also said goodbye to our beloved Rolland Kohls, who leaves us to become a monk. His new address at the monastery is St. Augustine's House, P.O. Box 125, Oxford, MI, 48371. We gave him a Kindle as a parting gift and Anne Brodt painted a beautiful icon for him. May his ministry be blessed.
This coming Sunday, we will move to our summer schedule, with the 8 and 10:30 a.m. Eucharist only. The 9 a.m. service will resume again in the fall. Through the summer, we will enjoy breakfast at 9 a.m., followed by the following classes at 9:30 a.m.:
- a creative writing circle in Room 305
- a knitting group in Room 304
- a book study on the bestseller Between Heaven and Mirth by Fr. James Martin, SJ in Ingram Lounge
- every second Sunday of the month from June to August, there will be a dance and rhythm class in Cummings Chapel for all ages
- children and youth will also have special activities. Children will go with the Rev. Jean Dodd and Linda Martin, and youth 6th grade and up will be with Aaron Mayeski
May God bless you all.

Windows to Heaven
Come experience the joy of icon writing. This ancient art form is available to you from June 18 to the 22nd from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The workshop will take you from a plain white board to a finished icon with gold leaf. Icon means "image" and tells a story with paint and brush rather than pen and ink. These "windows to heaven" are created in a prayerful, quiet atmosphere with Gregorian chant playing. No artistic experience is necessary, only an openness to God working through you to create this form of prayer. We will work on "The Trinity" icon by Rublov. The cost is $200.00 and includes all supplies. Call Ann Brodt at 221-5638 for more information or to sign up. |
 Looking for a Summer Camp? Check out Camp Weed! Camp Weed offers some wonderful Summer Camp opportunities for youth from 3rd to 12th grades. The summer schedule is divided up by weeklong sessions named after saints. Each session is specifically designed to host certain age groups. These sessions have different themes and age appropriate talks and activities. The 2012 Summer Schedule can be found on the Camp Weed homepage at www.campweed.org. Campers may enjoy volleyball, swimming, archery, arts and crafts, nature trail walking and much more. Going to camp is a beautiful experience that can squeeze a year's worth of Christian formation into a fun filled week in the woods. The memories and bonds that are formed while attending a week at Camp Weed will truly last a lifetime. You must register at least a week in advance before the session you sign up for begins, so reserve a space for your child now! Contact Camp Weed for camper requirements and more information. See what Aaron Mayeski says about summer camp here. |
