ROGATION SUNDAY
|
|
"Rogation" is connected to the Latin word for "asking," and refers to a traditional time of praying for agriculture. Traditionally celebrated on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of the Sixth Sunday in Easter, Rogation
Services are a time to pray for planting and for those working with the land. In rural areas, many people bless the elements used in farming, the fields, the seeds and that animals. In urban areas a blessing of gardens, and local businesses can be done. This is a time to show gratitude for soil, water and growth, and to challenge ourselves to think carefully of the food we eat, our care of water, earth and seed.

ST. PAUL'S BOOK GROUP
|
|
Our next meeting will be
Wednesday, June 7 at 7PM in the Rectory where we will discuss The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home by George Howe Colt.
Faced with the sale of the century-old family summer house on Cape Cod where he had spent forty-two summers, George Howe Colt returned for one last stay with his wife and children. This poignant tribute to the eleven-bedroom jumble of gables, bays, and dormers that watched over weddings, divorces, deaths, anniversaries, birthdays, breakdowns, and love affairs for five generations interweaves Colt's final visit with memories of a lifetime of Brahman family summers. Run-down yet romantic, The Big House stands not only as a cherished reminder of summer's ephemeral pleasures but also as a powerful symbol of a vanishing way of life.
The Blue Bunny will have it in stock early next week at our usual 20% discount if you mention the book group.
All are welcome.

WE'RE IN SEARCH OF MUSICIANS...
|
|
Summer is coming-and our Choir is taking a well-deserved break.
This is a wonderful time for us to summon talent from our pews. If you, or your child, play an instrument or sing, David Tierney, our Minister of Music, would be delighted to hear from you. This is an opportunity for us to share our gifts with one another-and, for the younger members of our congregation, to have an opportunity to play music or sing before a supportive and appreciative gathering of worshipers. Please let David know if you would like to help us out during the warmer months. David can be reached at
d.tierney@rivers.org
