Readings [We are using Track 2 of the indicated readings.]
Collect of the Day
Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Collect for Social Justice
A
lmighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly
follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord
, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
God, our Creator, we are held in your everlasting arms,
Jesus, our Savior, we are healed by your wounded hands,
Holy Spirit, be present as we reach out to one another in love.

"The great danger facing us today is not so much the atomic bomb that was created by physical science. Not so much that atomic bomb that you can put in an aeroplane and drop on the heads of hundreds and thousands of people as dangerous as that is. But the real danger confronting civilization today is that atomic bomb which lies in the hearts and souls of men, capable of exploding into the vilest of hate and into the most damaging selfishness-that's the atomic bomb that we've got to fear today. Problem is with the men. Within the heart and the souls of men. That is the real basis of our problem."
--Martin Luther King Jr

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SERVING AS A CHALICE BEARER?
Now is a great time to become involved. As we enjoy the relative quiet of summer, we're already preparing for the return to a busy fall schedule. We will need to be ready more chalice bearers (who assist with the distribution of Communion) and will be offering a training session later this month for those who are interested in being part of this important and meaningful ministry. If you'd like to learn more, please talk with Fr. Owen, Kickie Fulmor, or call the office at 845-358-1297.

What Survives
by Rainer Maria Rilke
Who says that all must vanish?
Who knows, perhaps the flight
of the bird you wound remains,
and perhaps flowers survive
caresses in us, in their ground.
It isn't the gesture that lasts,
but it dresses you again in gold
armor -from breast to knees-
and the battle was so pure
an Angel wears it after you.
