Grains of Sand Trinity Sunday
GRAINS OF SAND
TRINITY
VICAR’S MESSAGE
On the liturgical calendar, this coming Sunday is Trinity Sunday. On the secular calendar, we will celebrate Memorial Day. Here is a prayer for Trinity:
Holy Trinity
you are neither monarch nor monologue
but an eternal harmony
of gift and response;
through the Uncreated Word
and the Spirit of Truth
include us and all creation
in your extravagant love;
through the Wisdom of God,
who raises her voice
to call us to live. Amen
From: Prayers for an Inclusive Church
by Steven Shakespeare
I encourage you, sometime over the weekend, to read Proverbs 8: 1-4, 22-31, which is the first lesson that will be heard on Sunday. It is a wonderful call to life from Lady Wisdom. In any case, wherever you find yourself, or plan to be, over the weekend, I pray that you have an ongoing, clear, honest connection with God. May you remain in the heart of God by noticing God in your prayer and noticing God in the everyday activities of life.
This is a short Grains of Sand to just tag a few items. A more complete version will come out in a week or so. Blessings on your Way, Cindy
PARKING
Neighbors have asked that we be attentive to parking 5 to 7 feet away from driveway entrances. I know that this cuts down on very valuable parking space, but I hope we can be responsive to their concerns.
BRAT SALE/RUMMAGE
This is a clarification of “who is in charge of what.” If you have questions about the Rummage Sale, ask Kathy Jacobs. If you have questions about the Brat Sale, ask Brian Lundberg. Brian does not have answers about the Rummage Sale. Kathy does not have answers about the Brat Sale. Thank you!
BRAT
In order to maximize profits (oops! I almost wrote ‘prophets’), Brian is asking us to consider donating items we’ll need for the Brat Sale - and we need lots of items (Brats, Buns, Pop, Chips, Corn on the Cob, Butter, Aluminum Foil, Charcoal, etc., etc.) There are sign up sheets in the Mission Hall. The best way is to offer a money donation if you can — and a team will go out and do the shopping. Last year we had almost everything donated and made a $2000 profit - our most ever. The proceeds of both the Brat Sale and Rummage Sale go towards the Pilgrimage. Thank you so much.
FRAGRANCES in CHURCH
A number of people in our congregation have allergies and are sensitive to perfumes and other strong fragrances. To offer a kindness and mercy to our brothers and sisters who suffer from allergies, we are asking people to refrain from wearing perfumes and strong lotions on Sunday morning. Thank you for your consideration.
