WELCOME BACK
Today we welcome back to the pulpit Fr. John Lipscomb. Please welcome him as he guides us through the first month of summer!
CENTERING PRAYER
Since March 23, we have been reading Cherished Belonging, Fr. Boyles book about his experiences with the youth of. Homeboy Industries. This is a loving and uplifting book in a time of so many downers. Please join us by contacting juliastesney@yahoo.com.
EXTRA CHURCH PANTRY FOOD NEEDED
Every Thursday morning there are people who come to our food pantry and that number increases each week. The food pantry would appreciate the following to help fill in the gap:
Mac & Cheese
Peanut Butter
Soup
Canned Tuna
Boxed Spaghetti
The food items can go in the baskets in either narthex or leave in the kitchen (please mark the bags ‘food pantry’).
Thank you for supporting this important ministry!
CORNER BOOKSTORE NEWS
The next book sale will be on July 20th after the 9:00 am service. The tables will have a wonderful display of books.
Reminders: All paperback and hardback books are $1 each, and please bring your dollar bills. Thank you!
BOOK CLUB
The book club will take a break and return in September to discuss “Saint Destiny.”
TRANSITION CORNER
CAT is here. Ours is not a domestic shorthair, but rather an all-parish questionnaire to be completed today! When completed, this will tally all our thoughts about who we are and who we want to become. It’s the first step in finding a new rector.
But you say, “I am not part of the vestry or part of any governing group, so I don’t need to fill it out.”
No, no no! We need everyone’s input. Everyone!
CAT will take about an hour to complete, and it should be done in one sitting if possible to avoid being timed out. You can find links in the newsletter, on a QR in each narthex, and on the church web page.
If you prefer paper copies, they are in each narthex. When complete, they should be put in Gabby Portaluppi’s mail box.
Quick as a cat? Or CAT? Complete yours today well before the August 10 deadline.

MINISTRY OF HEALING
We are happy to offer the Ministry of Healing during selected Sunday services to anyone who wishes to participate. This has proven to be an intimate, comforting, and valuable experience. Healers are members of the congregation who are available to pray, one-on-one, with any parishioner who would like a healing prayer. Parishioners may come up to the healer who will be standing near the font, after taking communion. The healer may ask if there is any special prayer they would like. At this time, we will have a healer
available on the first, third, and fifth Sundays.
The healers are:
8:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m.
