Readings [We are using Track 2 of the indicated readings.]
Collect of the Day
O God, your never-failing providence sets in order all things both in heaven and earth: Put away from us, we entreat you, all hurtful things, and give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
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.
Almighty God, who created us in your image: Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and, that we may reverently use our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for 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.
"If it's not about love, it's not about God. Period. Exclamation point."
The Most Reverend Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church

Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

Grace Church has had a presence at Rockland Pride Sunday almost since its beginning in 1999. We staff a table, answer questions, and hand out information and treats.If you're able to give some time we'd love to have you join us.
We need help with setting up around 9:30-10:00am, as well as after the 11:00am service when we staff the table from 12:30 to about 3:30. Even an hour of your time is helpful - and we always have a good time!

Every day I want to speak with you. And every day something more important
calls for my attention-the drugstore, the beauty products, the luggage
I need to buy for the trip.
Even now I can hardly sit here
among the falling piles of paper and clothing, the garbage trucks outside
already screeching and banging.
The mystics say you are as close as my own breath.
Why do I flee from you?
My days and nights pour through me like complaints
and become a story I forgot to tell.
Help me. Even as I write these words I am planning
to rise from the chair as soon as I finish this sentence.
"Prayer" by Marie Howe, from
