FROM THE RECTOR 

The Buildings and Grounds Committee has received Vestry approval for a new boiler and new kitchen flooring, refrigerator and stove. We will proceed as quickly as the various companies can install these items. Thank you to the Buildings and Grounds committee and the Vestry and to you, for your generous pledges to support these projects! 

I will be on vacation Monday, August 29 - Saturday, September 10. I will be gone one Sunday, September 4th, and our lay worship leaders will lead Morning Prayer that day. While I'm off I plan to paint one of the bedrooms in my new home (it's currently an unsightly mustardy color) and enjoy some relaxing time on the beach.

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.

Blessings, Caroline

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Why do we keep hiding our deepest feelings from each other? We suffer much, be we also have great gifts of healing for each other. The mystery is that by hiding our pain we also hide our ability to heal.... We are called to confess to each other forgive each other, and thus to discover the abundant mercy of God. But at the same time, we are so terribly afraid of being hurt more than we already are. This fear keeps us prisoners, even when the prison has no walls! I see better every day how radical Jesus' message of love really is.

FROM THE RECTOR 

The Buildings and Grounds Committee, under the excellent leadership of Lin Frank, continues to work on our project list. The major item we've checked off the list is paving the parking lot, and we're really excited about how that came out, aside from the one low area that will be repaired. 

We have two large projects we plan to complete this fall: the purchase of a new boiler and replacing the kitchen floor, refrigerator and stove. We were told last spring that we need a new boiler before this year's heating season, have been in touch with several companies to get estimates and hope to move forward after this month's Vestry meeting. In the kitchen, we're told our refrigerator is nearing the end of it's life, and the flooring is coming up. While we are doing this work we will also replace the kitchen stove, which is larger than we need and a drain on our propane bill with its many pilot lights. We will recommend replacement items at this month's Vestry meeting. 

Thanks to your generous pledges to the Buildings and Grounds Project fundraiser and the anonymous gift we received this year we have enough money to complete both of these projects! We are excited about the parking lot and the upcoming kitchen upgrades and new boiler. 

Many thanks to all of the Buildings and Grounds Committee members: Lin Frank, Pat Adams, Patti and George Rau and Lisa Thompson; and to all of you who pledged donations for our buildings and grounds projects!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

          There appeared a woman with a spirit
           that had crippled her for eighteen years.
           She was bent over
           and was quite unable to stand up straight.
                           —Luke 13.11

What is bent over in you?
What is pushed over, put down,
made weak, or silenced?
What beauty is hidden,
what capacity stilled?
What in you is bound up,
distorted, facing downward?
How have you given up hope?
How have you been told that you can't?
That you deserve it?
That this is not the time for healing?

Let the bent over woman in you come forward.
Let Jesus lay a healing hand on her.
Don't expect instant change, but know this:
the spirit that distorts you
is not as strong as love.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Intercession

True intercession, the sort that Jesus shares with the Father, is not just a shopping list of the needs of the world, nor is it informing God of something he knows already. Rather, it is a profound, loving, and costly holding up of others who are on our hearts before God. True intercession is being with God, with the people on our hearts.

-Br. Geoffrey Tristram, SSJE
