River of Life: Connecticut River
Pilgrimage, 2017
Pilgrimage, 2017
40-days of Pilgrimage from
May 31 to July 9, 2017
May 31 to July 9, 2017
This is a spiritual journey of renewal, restoration, and reconciliation, shaped by the Christian tradition around a series of activities along the Connecticut River, from the Source to the Sea.
A core group of “river pilgrims” will journey the full length of the river, being joined by “daily pilgrims” as they traverse individual stretches, and by “pilgrims in prayer” for those who aren’t able to paddle along or join in events but want to participate in the 40-day spiritual practices that correspond with the Pilgrimage dates.
Join in as a Pilgrim in Prayer
If you aren’t able to find your way to
a local body of water or the Connecticut River to paddle, don’t worry…you can
still participate in the 40-day Pilgrimage as a “Pilgrim in Prayer” and be with
us in spirit from your home, your place of worship, or a chosen spot outside in
nature.
From May 31 to July 9,
pilgrims on the Connecticut River will share in a rhythm of morning, midday,
and evening prayer using the daily readings and reflections outlined in the
River of Life Prayer Book. With your own River of Life Prayer Book, you can
join us in this 40 days of prayer and reflect on the same Scripture readings,
songs, prayers, and lessons that will be read and sung on the river. The River
of life Prayer book also contains several articles, creation-centered
practices, and other resources to accompany you on your pilgrimage at home.

DIGITAL PROJECTOR NEEDED
Do
you have a digital projector we could borrow on Sunday morning, June 4? The one that has
been used previously belonged to Heidi and Duane, so we no longer have access
to one. Sammie Wakefield will be giving a presentation on Eleanore’s Project
and some recent changes, and she hopes to be able to show us pictures.
- NEWS FROM DEACON
KEVIN MORT -
I want to thank the many people who sent a birthday card to my son, Zach, who is deployed, boots on the ground. He cannot tell me where he is, but we can guess. He was surprised to get the many cards and he really appreciated receiving them.
I will be returning to New Hampshire on June 7th with my youngest son and will be back to St Andrew's on June 11th. I am looking forward to serving there again and seeing my New Hampshire family when I return. Andrew has not been to our home there and I know he is looking forward to meeting you all. We are hoping to do some fishing when we are up there so if anyone has a boat or dock that we can go fishing from, please let me know. Thanks.
I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

ELEANORE’S PROJECT
-
For the past eleven years Saint Andrews
has helped to sponsor the work of Eleanore's Project. It is a small family run
NGO that supplies specialty wheelchairs and education programs about postural
care for children with physical disabilities in less resourced areas. One of
our parishioners, Sammie Wakefield returned in April from three weeks in Peru
where she participated in wheelchair clinics and training programs. On
Sunday June 4 after the 9:00 am service she will show slides and talk about her
experiences and how they are working toward a sustainable program.

A Request from the Search Committee
As we continue with our fact gathering for our parish
profile, we have mentioned at our Sunday services that we would be having small
informal group discussions so that parishioners could continue to discuss our
parish, and our search for a new rector. This coming Sunday, in the parish
hall, there will be an easel with the names and addresses of parishioners who
have agreed to host these discussions. Please sign up under the place, date,
and time that is most convenient for you.
Your
thoughts and opinions are very important in our search process, so we would
like as many of you as possible to attend one of these sessions
If you
have any questions, please contact any search committee member.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
-
From Presiding Bishop Michael Curry:
“Let us pause and pray and remember the victims of the tragedy in Manchester, England – those who lost their lives, those whose lives will forever be changed.‘Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen.’” ~ From Compline, The Book of Common Prayer
