 Alison LaRosa is happy to officially join King's Chapel as a member and enjoys the church's unique philosophy, warm community and wonderful music. You may have heard her cantor at the Wednesday evening Contemplative Communion service, or occasionally sing with the choir. When she is not singing or playing the flute, Alison can be found at Tufts University, where she's part of the fundraising team for the School of Medicine, or at home in Malden. She looks forward to growing spiritually and making new friends at King's Chapel.
Editors note: We are also pleased to announce that Alison has agreed to become a permanent member of the choir, so we will see and hear her more regularly at our Morning Prayer services. Welcome Alison!

Labyrinth Walk and Potluck Lunch | June 22 | 10 AM - 1 PM
Adult Religious Education Offers an INVITATION TO WALK A LABYRINTH
Solvitur Ambulando - it is solved by walking.
~ St. Augustine
The meditative Labyrinth walk is different every time and for everyone. Unlike a maze, you cannot get lost, you follow the one path inward to the center, rest there, then follow the same path out. In silence, people often bring a question, offer a prayer, or leave a worry behind.
Please join KC friends at the home of Dick and Cynthia Perkins in Stow, about 45 minutes from King's Chapel. We'll gather for coffee and tea, and to learn about the labyrinth-its nature, history, and guidelines for meditation - then we'll walk the labyrinth together. Afterwards we'll take time to share reflections and thoughts. The lunch that follows, not in silence, is always lively and fun.
Participants are asked to bring something to share for the meal.
RSVP to Laura@kingschapel.org and mention whether you can help transport or are in need of a ride. Contact Cynthia Perkins at cbhperkins@earthlink.net and let her know what you can contribute to potluck lunch. She'll send more information to those who plan to come.

Looking back to Sunday June 2

Pet Blessing
On Sunday last at Morning light we had the pleasure of worshiping outside complete with our four legged friends. Puppies and mature dogs of all sizes and one stuffed giraffe were on hand to remind us that all of God's creatures are sacred and a blessing in our lives. We prayed especially for those animals in captivity and endangered. We also remembered St. Francis of Assisi lover of animals and the Eucharist by celebrating communion.
|
Following the Blessing of the Animals on Sunday June 2, we were pleased to host
common art, a program of
common cathedral. About a dozen artists set up in the parlors to show and sell their art, including jewelers, sculptors and painters. We were pleased to, once again, host this show and look forward to another in the future!

Piano Ac
tion, Sunday, June 2 at the the Parish House
The second Piano Action concert of the spring season featured Heinrich Christensen and his friend, Robert Winkley, playing our new Perkins Steinway piano four-handed. The concert (free, with contributions welcome to benefit
common cathedral) celebrated the piano, raised funds for
common cathedral, and provided a delightful afternoon interlude with champagne in the garden afterward.
It was an interesting and varied program: dear and familiar pieces by Faure, Schubert, and Ravel, spiced by several short and delightful ones of 20th century composer Gyorgy Ligeti.
The Little Chapel was full, and enthusiasm was high. We hope to hear more Piano Action next Season.

This June marks King's Chapel's 333rd Birthday! Throughout the month of June, the History Program will highlight key moments and people who shaped the church over the past 3 1/3 centuries. Special talks and drop-in programming will explore historical "3s," and staff will share how King's Chapel has celebrated major milestones over the years, including the 1886 bicentennial and the church's 250th birthday in 1936.

Tuesday Morning Meditation | Tuesdays 7:30 AM| Little Chapel
An early Tuesday Morning Meditation meets in our beautiful Little Chapel at 7:30 to 8:30 AM each Tuesday, including approximately a 20 minute meditation. We explore and experiment a bit, so if you have some ideas or are a little adventurous, this brief coming side by side with others in your church community may bring some welcome fun, joy and/or peace to your day. This is for "drop-in" participation - no long term obligations. Never meditated before? Drop by and give it a try. Feel free to contact Gary Riccio at
gary.riccio@me.com, or Stephen Courtney at scourtney@scixstudio.com for more details.

Accessibility Assists
Our beautiful Georgian sanctuary was designed by Peter Harrison and completed in 1754. To make our services and programs more accessible, one of the box pews has been made wheel-chair accessible. Ushers are available to assist those wheelchair users to that pew. Additionally, we have installed an accessible bathroom on our main floor. An usher can direct you to the vestry.
A sound system has been installed in the sanctuary of The Chapel to amplify the sound during worship services. Hearing assistance devices are available for your use. Please see an Usher for assistance.
