The 2nd Sunday after Pentecost
(Proper 5)
O God, from whom all good proceeds: Grant that by
your inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by your
merciful guiding may do them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Our early service is unaccompanied by music and usually lasts about 50 minutes. Coffee and fellowship are offered before the service begins in the parish hall, while the sanctuary is available for quiet prayer. Another coffee hour follows the service.

Our late morning service is accompanied during the summer by organ music and congregational singing, along with an informal Taize singing group that offers chant during Communion and rehearses briefly following the service.

Upcoming Events
This Sunday, June 6th, there will be a training/refreshing session for all
current
and interested Altar Party members. The training will take place after
each
service that morning. If you are already involved in one of these
ministries,
please plan to attend so that we can all be on the same liturgical page
as we
worship. If you are interested in participating, or are simply curious,
you are
also invited to sit in and ask questions. Ministries included under the
"Altar Party" label are: Lay Readers, Chalice Bearers, Eucharistic
Visitors,
Acolytes, and Servers. Serving at the Altar on Sunday mornings and other
occasions of worship is both an honor and a responsibility. When done
with
faith, it can also be a joy! Thank you for your ministry, and we hope to
see
you at this training session.
In
a previous week's edition of The
Friday Letters, Fr. Ben announced two Book
Study series' for this summer. The first book is An Altar in the
World
by Barbara Brown Taylor, running for three weeks beginning June 6th. The
second
book is To Heal a Fractured World by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
beginning on
July 11th. The study series' will have both a real-time, in-person
component,
as well as an anytime, online component. You can get all the details by
checking out the new CECoP Book Study Blog.
Please join us for the Taizé chamber group this summer! During communion this
summer we will be singing Taizé songs. These are songs based on lines from the
Psalms or other pieces of scripture that were conceived and composed for the
Taizé Community founded by Frčre Roger in Switzerland in 1940. The melodies of
Taizé song feature simple, short melodies that may be repeated again and
again, giving them a meditative quality that allows everyone to participate in
listening to God through prayerful singing. We will sing a different song every
week, and will need a number of voices who know the melodies to aid us in
worship. Beginning in June, following coffee hour church organist, Naomi Shiga
will spend 10 to 15 minutes in the Sanctuary teaching the new song for the
following Sunday. From the non-music readers to the instrumentalist (any
instruments are welcome!), young to old, all welcome! It is always as important
to have a singing leader in the congregation as the choir loft. If you are
simply interested to learn to support congregational singing from the pew, you
can still join us for the rehearsal. We will use some of our more rare hymns to
warm up, so your hymn repertoire should grow in this summer too!
Please check the 'Mark Your Calendars!' section for more upcoming events, or see our online calendar.
General Announcements
Support
Our Troops:
during the summer months, 7,500 single soldiers will be coming
home to
Joint Base Lewis-McChord. We would like to support these single soldiers
and
stock up their living quarters with non-perishable food and hygiene
items.
Examples of items that would be appreciated are: chips, pretzels, nuts,
bottled
water, hygiene items, and non-frozen TV dinners. We will collect them in
the
bins in the Parish Hall, and they will be delivered to JBLM. We won't
need help
with mailing packages this time, but we would appreciate any donations.
