FROM THE RECTOR
Two weeks ago I wrote about the first St. Andrew’s Open Golf Tournament to be held on Tuesday, September 17, 2019. This week our planning group determined that there is simply too much to do to make this happen in September, and decided to postpone the tournament until next fall. This will give us the needed time to put together our literature and successfully recruit sponsors for the event.
We also have a change in the date for the Steak and Lobster Dinner, from August 16 to August 23, so be sure to mark your calendars with the new date. This change is to accommodate our lobster supply guy and cook, which is important!
I had a wonderful vacation week in North Myrtle Beach, SC with my sister and nieces. I love the southern beaches where the water is warm and the waves are usually bigger than on our coasts. There’s nothing I love better than floating and playing in the waves! And good seafood!! It was a time of much needed rest and renewal.

Many thanks to Cathie Lewis, Gretchen Behr-Svendsen and Lisa Thompson for leading Morning Prayer in my absence!

ROBERTA NOBLEMAN PERFORMANCE
Actor Roberta Nobleman performance and
discussion at Griswold Hall, Church of the Holy Spirit, Plymouth, Saturday,
July 6, 2019 attended by Pat Adams, Cathie Lewis, Lisa Thompson, and Sammie
Wakefield.
Roberta is an actor and sacred
storyteller who gives voice and presence to many unnamed women in the Gospels.
We enter into the daily lives of Peter’s wife, the woman with a flow of blood,
and a woman so bent over that all she sees are people’s feet. Encounters with
Jesus change their lives; and through Roberta’s skill and passion in telling
their story, change ours, as well.
See the Photo Gallery below for more pictures.
FROM Deb IN THE OFFICE
I will be out of the office July 4-July 13 tending to family matters. The office will be closed. Please contact Caroline if you have office needs.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT - From Forward Day by Day
Luke 24:10-11 Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the
mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
I can’t help but feel
frustrated that the other disciples struggle in disbelief about the message
these women share. Jesus foretells his death and resurrection, so hearing from
these women that it has happened shouldn’t be perceived as an “idle tale.”
These women have journeyed alongside Jesus—at considerable risk to their
lives—yet they aren’t believed when they tell of this profound experience.
Even if the male disciples
can’t believe this chorus from their sisters and mothers and friends, these
women are still chosen, favored with the revelation of resurrection. They
witness the living, breathing Jesus bringing the gospel into full flower and
share that news with the entire, sometimes-maddeningly disbelieving world, and
no one can take that from them.
MOVING FORWARD: When
was the last time someone struggled to believe an important story you were
trying to tell? How did you respond?
