Services this coming
Sunday, June 9th and the Third Sunday after Pentecost, will be
at 8 and 10, with a coffee hour
following each service. We hope you will join us for worship and fellowship.
Our ALL-PARISH PICNIC at White Lake Park, off of route 16 in Tamworth,
on Sunday, June 23rd is coming up! We have reserved the
pavilion. We will gather at 10:30 a.m.
for an informal outdoor eucharist; that will be followed by the picnic and
social and recreation time! Hamburgers, hotdogs, and veggie burgers – and the
grills to grill them on – will be supplied. We ask you to bring salad, chips,
beverages, or desserts. The lake will be available for swimming and kayaking.
The lake is shallow for quite a distance, so it will warm up quickly and will
not pose deep water risks for young ones. The pavilion and the rest rooms are
wheel chair accessible, so our hope is that it will be a fun,
multi-generational gathering for everyone. Feel free to invite your friends.
There is a $200 fee for the pavilion and that covers the
admission fee for everyone in our group. Just tell the person at the gate that
you are here for the Saint Andrew’s Picnic. One household has already
generously volunteered to cover a significant part of the cost of the fee. If
you would like to help defray the cost, mark that in the memo line of a check,
and know that your contribution will be appreciated by all of us.
The regular 8:00 service will be held at Saint Andrew’s as
well.Do you have a piece in the works for the summer Mountain Top? The deadline in Friday, emailed to frantzdale@gmail.com. Thanks. Publication and distribution will take place next week.
Good News: We have a
new “asphalt carpet” approach to our ramp! When you arrive on Sunday, don’t
miss the fact that the puddle and sand at the foot of our entrance ramp have
been replaced by a wide smooth pathway of paving. And the railings are in the
works, thanks to Tom Huckman.
Readings for this Sunday:
1 Kings 17:8-16; Psalm 146; Galatians 1:11-24; Luke 7:11-17
Food for thought on the subject of call
from David Vryhof SSJE…
None of us is without a call. God’s call to each of us is continuous
and ongoing. Be attentive to what it is that God is asking you to be or to do
today. Trust that your weakness presents no obstacle to God. Do what you can.
God will accomplish the rest.
Gathering
together each Sunday in community strengthens each of us to trust and to take
our next steps. Your presence in worship and fellowship supports each of us as
we move forward in this great dance of growing in Christ.
See you in
church!
Blessings, Heidi+
