FROM THE RECTOR

The CDC continues to classify Carroll County in the low range for community spread of Covid This will be updated as needed, but for now masks are optional in church.

I am on vacation June 23 - July 7. I'm going to my sister's for my niece Caroline's High School graduation, and after that am looking forward to some down time at home. Nancy Spencer Smith will preside at the Eucharist both Sundays I'm away and Patti Rau, our St. Warden, is available in an emergency. 

Have a good two weeks, and I look forward to seeing you when I return.

Blessings, Caroline

PRAYER FOR UKRAINE 

"God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.  

~Archbishop Justin Welby, Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The Summer Day

Who made the world?

Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean -
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down -
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
