Food for thought as we move into the summer season:

"Jesus promises us his presence and his provision in all that we face in life. Nothing will separate us from the love of God. Nothing." (from Brother Curtis Almquist, SSJE)

See you in church!

Debra was in receipt of an email from Christine Kurtz-White’s son, Chris.  He passed on that while Christine is doing okay, she is not as good as when she first moved to Florida.  Since her mobility has deteriorated they have moved her to a new assisted living facility where she will get more specialized care to deal with her issues. She would always love hearing from her friends up here.

Her new address is: 5066 NE 2^nd Avenue, Apt 219, Miami, FL 33137

Many people have been faithful in bringing food to take to the pantry.  There is a special need for egg cartons at this time. Here are some suggestions that you may not have thought of:  Pet food, Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, antiperspirant, disposable razors, hand cream, hand sanitizers, feminine hygiene products and diapers.  As always, food dry goods like flour, sugar, non-sugar cereals, oatmeal and pasta, are welcome.  Canned goods like spaghetti sauce, vegetables, fruit, applesauce and juices are welcome also (please check everything for expiration dates as expired items cannot be used.)  Thanks to those who are so attentive to the need. Your continued support is especially needed and appreciated.

Another way to walk the labyrinth.

Consider walking our labyrinth! And if you need further enticement, this week it is practically ablaze with spring wildflowers! Walking a labyrinth is an ancient, time-honored spiritual tool. We are incarnational beings–creatures of flesh and blood–and as such, sitting still is not the only way to pray! There's no single "right way" to walk the labyrinth, which at a gentle pace takes about 5 minutes to reach the center and five minutes to return; but one can go more slowly or fly along as our children sometimes do. What ever your pace, the labyrinth will lead you. Your only job is to put one foot in front of the other and to open you mind and heart. Our labyrinth is behind our building, back toward the woods and to the left. Salmon-colored Labyrinth trifold brochures are available on the track rack next to the office door. 

 In an effort to be good stewards of our financial resources, a group of parishioners have agreed to handle the upkeep of our grounds during this summer season. Special thanks to George Plender, Jim Leavens, Brooks and Elaine South, George Rau, and David Manley for they work that has been done to date. If you would like to volunteer some time to help, please contact George Rau (367-8223).

Last Sunday at the 10 o’clock service, Lisa Thompson read in French, Davis Dassori in Welch, Juli Hird in Scots Gaellic, Peg Cade in Italian, Rev. Heidi in Latin and Dale Appleton in English.
 

The 10 o’clock service also included music by our choir and organ, plus trumpeter Randy Ouellette and flutest Kate Vachon.  Randy’s wife Jen and their two week old son Declan were also at the service. (Declan was born on Mother’s Day!)

We were visited by Benji from St. Matthew’s, Goffstown, who is honoring this year of Episcopal transition in New Hampshire by visiting all the churches in the Diocese by bicycle.  After the service many of us signed a shirt that has been signed by a lot of others during his visits.
