SUMMER LEMONADE 

We are looking for volunteers who can help with summer coffee hours of lemonade and cookies after the 9:00 am Sunday services.  Lovey is there to help organize, so the task is simple. If you will be here, please sign up on the sheet outside the Rector’s office or contact Jane Metcalf.  Your help is much appreciated and gives a welcoming touch to these summer coffee hours.

 We wish all of you a wonderful summer and look forward to picking up again in the fall.

SUGGESTED SUMMER READING

Dear Friends in Christ,

As you embark on your vacations, Dorsey and I highly recommend that you read Garry Will's What Jesus Meant (Penguin, 2006, 144 pages). This is a short, very readable volume written by a Pulitzer-prize winning, Roman Catholic, classical Greek scholar and historian. His translations of the Greek text are refreshing and thought-provoking. His subject is the "Jesus of faith", stripped from many of the the accretions and traditions of the Church. Wills is writing for the lay Christian. We will be using this volume as the basis for our fall conversations which will begin in mid September.

May the God bless you this summer with light, laughter and fun. We look forward to seeing you in September.

Peace and love,
Ella Auchincloss, MTS.
