Mutual Ministry Review – There will be a Mutual Ministry Review for the Rector and Parish leaders on September 30. The review will be led by the Rev. Canon James Harlan, the Diocesan Canon Evangelist. The review is a periodic event which was last held in 2012. There will be more information as the day approaches, but the review is a time where we as a body look at how we minister together in our community. It will, hopefully, serve as a starting point for continued mutual ministry in Chuckatuck.
CAPS Fundraiser BBQ – CAPS is holding their annual fundraiser on next week on Sunday September 19, from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm. There will be plates available with fried chicken, BBQ, cole slaw, hush puppies, and Mac & cheese. Tickets are $12 and must be purchased before the day of the fundraiser. Contact the office to purchase tickets. We may be able to have a mass pick-up of meals if there is enough interest.
Worship Service video – Because there is no internet in the sanctuary, we will have a video of worship available on our YouTube channel on Sunday afternoon. A link to the video will be provided separately. Our channel URL is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2QWNHHKVPYpp8mKcveYd5A

School Supplies – Oakland Elementary School began on September 7. We provided some items and will stand ready to assist if needed during the school year.
COVID-19 Policy update – Based on the resurgence of COVID-19, the Vestry has adopted these measures for activities at St. John’s: (1) Masking, even for fully vaccinated people, should be worn. (2) Social distancing should be observed. (3) Singing should be with masks. (4) Coffee hour should be with individually pre-packaged food and drinks.
Parish House reshingling – There has been a slight delay in completing the reshingling of the Parish House. More details are forthcoming but it may be more than 6 weeks until the work is completed.
Questions to consider – (1) What gifts have we, as individuals or as a church, been given to share with our community? (2) Who do we have contact with that we can share our church with?
Thought for the week – Knowledge: In the end, knowledge is not enough. Knowledge – like technology – is like a very good, very capable servant. Love is its true master. Without love, our knowledge is lifeless. In the service of love, knowledge finds its place and purpose.
– Br. Keith Nelson, SSJE
