Vestry member – There has been a resignation from the Vestry, and we need a volunteer to agree to serve. If you are willing to serve, please contact the Rector or any Vestry member.
Ladies Luncheon Outing – The ladies of the Parish luncheons will be at Kickback Jack’s on College Avenue on Aug. 10 at 11:30 am.
Thought for the week – Hope: There are moments when all hope threatens to harden into cynical despair, when our compromises with the powers of the world threaten to exile us from God, our neighbor, and ourselves. It is there, at the brink of the grave, that Christ stands most ready to save, most eager to hold our loss in the fire of love, most able to transfigure everything.
