Dear Folks,
May the Spirit of Pentecost still
be stirring our souls and setting fire to our faith!
My prayer day is this Thursday,
June 8. If you have a joy or concern you would like me to
raise up, please let me know.
This Sunday, June 11, is an
exciting Sunday! We will be celebrating Children's and Robert
Wilson Sunday and Confirmation. I have been planning very hard to
keep this service as close to one hour as possible, but, if it does
get later and you do need to be somewhere else, please feel free to
leave if needed.
The 2017 confirmands are:
Sam Bracchi, Samantha Chase, Cathleen Higgins, Spencer Keith,
Megan McCarthy, and Jenna Melanson. Congratulations and blessing to
these amazing youth!
We will have two special music
offerings: for the Prelude, Nancy Williams will be playing a
movement from Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". Nancy is a hearing
health advocate who delivers keynotes and workshops on living with
and making music despite hearing loss. She has spoken to thousands
across the United States, often playing the piano during her
appearances. She is also founder and president of Auditory Insight,
a strategy and marketing consulting firm to companies solving
hearing loss. She has a moderate to severe hearing loss and in 2012
debuted in Carnegie Hall's Weill Hall for a masterclass performance
wearing her hearing aids.
Our Postlude will feature our own
Aaron Corcino!
The scripture for Sunday is
Matthew 28:16-20. The sermon is "Confirming our Faith".
Following worship, please be sure
to join us in Fellowship for a cake honoring our confirmands and
ice cream provided by Gertrude Wilson celebrating Robert Wilson
Sunday and Dairy Month!
Sunday, June 18 is Graduate
Sunday. If you or your child has graduated from an institution of
learning, please let Karen Boroski, the office manager, know so we
can include their names in the bulletin and Belfry.
Let us pray. O God, be with the
people of Orlando, of Kabul, of London, of anywhere that violence
rears its ugly head. Help us, O God, not to react with hate and
violence ourselves, by rather to work how and where we can for
peace, justice, and equality. Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
