worship @ 6pm all summer long!
We're making it a little easier to fit church into busy summer schedules - WORSHIP @ 6pm starting THIS THURSDAY and running through June and July. If you're planning way ahead, take note: No worship on July 29 or in the month of August. So come in to praise God and then head back outside with a grateful heart to praise the sun (come on, you know you want to) ...
What's going on @ The Crossing?
THIS THURS. / Worship @ 6pm: Christine Evans shares June reflections; no early spiritual practice this summer. Subway: Park Street (red or green line) or Downtown Crossing (orange line). Driving: For $3, we validate parking at Boston Common Garage (Charles Street b/t the Common and Public Gardens.) More info: www.thecrossingboston.org.
NO MONDAY SCRIPTURE CHAT THIS SUMMER: That is, no official every-other-Monday date at Grendel's Den. But if you want to connect to reflect on the great crossing between God's story and our stories, contact Chris Ashley at chris.ashley@gmail.com. He'll let you know about ad hoc Bible Study gatherings this summer.
SAT., 6/14 @ 2pm / Got Pride? Get Blessed!: Following the LGBT Pride Parade, our own Bishop Tom Shaw will open the doors of The Cathedral to bless people, relationships and families. Starts at 2pm with "Party on the Porch" (lemonade, cookies and music outside). At 2:30pm, come in for a simple, celebratory gathering featuring music, blessings from the bishop and prayer. All are welcome! Want to help? Contact Rev. Steph at revsteph@gmail.com. And if you want to march with a bunch of surprisingly wild Episcopalians in the parade (step off @ noon in the South End), contact Rev. Steph for those details, too.
JOIN THE REVOLUTION THIS SUMMER / We could use help with set-up (creative stuff and the really basic stuff), greeting on the porch, justice and newcomer ministries, etc. If you've got some time this summer AND a passion for building the beloved community, contact Rev. Steph at revsteph@gmail.com.
PRAYERS NEEDED: Please pray for our sisters Audrey and Lynn, as they prepare to go before church committees that will decide whether to sponsor them for ordination to the priesthood. Pray for everybody who is hunting for work or housing, interviewing for jobs and simply struggling in this tight economy. Pray for our sister Lianne Marquis, who is in the Holy Land working on behalf of the Palestinian people this summer.
