It is with a spirit of great thanksgiving for a life well lived that
the 10:00 Eucharist this Sunday will be offered to the Glory of God in
Thanksgiving for John’s life and ministry. Since a date for his funeral has not
yet been set and will most likely be well into May, this will be a way for his
family and us to acknowledge and give thanks for his life among us.
John died peacefully on Wednesday
morning of this week. Please keep Kitty Lou and their family in your prayers.
Her mailing address is 612 Mt. Israel Road, Center Sandwich, 03227.

his soul, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God rest in
peace.
Vestry and Parish Leaders met with Bishop
Rob Hirschfeld for eucharist, supper, and discussion. The following prayer shaped our lively and productive conversation:a refreshed wisdom and a courteous understanding,
that the eternal message of your Son
may be acclaimed as the good news of the age;
through him who makes all things new,
even Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Last Sunday's Gospel was of the disciples' encounter with the resurrected Jesus on the beach of the Sea of Galilee after a long night of unsuccessful fishing (John 21). The children were very actively engaged in responding to the retelling through our Godly Play figures ... and the irresistible tray of beach sand!

And Jesus
told them, “Cast your net on the right side of the boat.”
Then Jesus
told them, “Come and have breakfast.”
