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.

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

The food items can go in the baskets in either narthex or leave in the kitchen (please mark the bags ‘food pantry’).

TRANSITION CORNER
Right meow! Do it right meow!
That's the message from the CAT. If you have not yet completed the Congregation Assessment Tool, please do it today. This 99-item questionnaire can be found on the parish web page or in the newsletter or the QR in each narthex. Paper copies are in either narthex and can be returned to Gabby Portaluppi's mail box in the office. It should take no longer than one hour to complete.
If you need a hand--or a paw?--ask one of the transition committee. We are glad to help.
The CAT is our first step in finding a new rector.
The deadline is Aug. 10--two short weeks. Do it meow.
The Transition Committee
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.
