FROM THE RECTORThank you to everyone who made our 95th anniversary celebration so wonderful! . Special thanks to Lisa Thompson and Kathy Berman for their presentation during the service and the displays in the parish hall. Both were great, and added so much to the celebration! Thanks as well to Jen, Lois and Jonathan for running the kitchen so smoothly and for cleaning up. There was a lot of work that went on behind the scenes that many probably weren't aware of.
The parking lot will be open on Sunday morning, so no need to park on the street. The lot was paved on Wednesday instead of Thursday, so the timing is perfect.
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

The Collect of the Day
Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

not a bet on the future,
but trust in what is already present, unseen.
I hope in the sunrise because the earth is already turning.
My faith is not that God will intervene
and make things better or fix problems;
my faith is that love is at work.
I trust in hidden love even as injustice runs loose.
I believe in our Oneness even as war and racism wound us.
I know our Belovedness even as we assault each other.
Even though we damage the earth,
though the violent rage and the rich oppress the poor,
still this world is born of Goodness,
and grace flourishes even in bad places,
and Love holds us in aching but untiring arms.
Even when the way is not well lit, I live in hope.
