Rector's Reflections
|
Who, Then, Is This? Our Only Help.
As the disciples set out together in the boat with the sleeping Jesus, a great windstorm arose so that the boat became swamped. As we set out in mission together in the ship of Christ's church, how many storms arise! The elements of chaos still seem to wreak havoc in our lives, communities, and in the church-and we become terrified. Though Christ is present the disciples and we ourselves begin to doubt his care and power: "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" His presence seems far too weak to help us, though it is exactly in this vulnerable weakness that Christ shows his almighty power. Jesus wakes at the disciples' cries and rebukes the wind and waves-they are no match for his command. The terrifying calm that follows demonstrates his divine power over all the chaos that continually threatens us. And we find ourselves awe-struck before the living God who has met us in our weakness and yet overcome it. [Sundays and Seasons, 2018]
Jesus the Christ who sleeps in the boat is the same Jesus who hangs on the cross, seemingly helpless. Yet the helpless one is none other than the all-powerful Lord God. "Who then is this?" but the Lord of all! The God who in the beginning brought order to the chaotic face of the deep now in Christ brings peace as we face the storm. So why are we afraid? Have we still no faith in this helpless Lord who is our only help?
In Christ,
Bill+

L.I.F.E. Ministries Hunger Relief Weekend
|
L.I.F.E. Ministries Food Pantry
Sponsors a Hunger Relief Weekend
June 29, 30, and July 1
While this is the season of vacations, cookouts, and family visits there are still many in our community suffering from hunger. L.I.F.E. Ministries Food Pantry located in our Outreach Building, works throughout the year to provide much needed food each week. Some come for a brief time to get through a temporary situation, while others rely on us for ongoing support.
In 2017 the food pantry distributed more than 144,000 meals.
L.I.F.E. Ministries is sponsoring a hunger relief weekend on June 29, 30, and July 1 to raise the critical funds needed to continue this important work.
A number of activities are planned including:
Donation jars available in many local stores
A 50/50 raffle - Tickets will be sold at Spencer Hughes and Harvest Market
Special collections from our local churches
The finale and highlight of this weekend is a benefit concert featuring:
The Ossipee Mountain Boys
Sunday, July 1 at 7 pm
First Congregational Church in Wolfeboro
The Ossipee Mountain Boys are generously donating their time and talents to the food pantry's efforts to mitigate hunger. The Ossipee Mountains Boys played all over NH in the late 70's and early 80's and have regrouped for several local shows in 2018. The original members: Jeff Nelson-guitar, vocals, Dave Walker-bass, harmonica, vocals and Paul Luff- banjo, guitar and vocals are joined by New Hampshire recording artist singer/songwriter Timothy Gurshin on guitar. They were favorites at the Sandwich Fair for years and have performed all around the Lakes Region in concert venues and pubs. They continue to use bluegrass arrangements of fun and popular songs from yesterday and today in a folk, rock, swing, grass, put-your-hands-together-for-this-one style.
Join us for an evening of fun and great entertainment!
All of the proceeds of this concert goes to support hunger relief. All workers, performers, and the First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro are giving their time, talent, or space free of charge. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at Blacks in Wolfeboro,
before and after worship on June 24th
and from volunteers at the sales tables at Spencer Hughes Real Estate, Harvest Market, and Dockside June 29, 30, and July 1. If you are unable to attend the concert, you can still help those in need by purchasing 50/50 raffle tickets or placing a donation in the jars located in many of the stores in the Wolfeboro area.

General Convention and BCP Revision
|
From July 5 through July 13, the Episcopal Church will be meeting in Austin Texas for our General Convention. The General Convention, which governs the Episcopal Church meets every three years. Like the US legislature, there are two different groups: the House of Deputies, and the House of Bishops. During the convention, delegates will consider resolutions on a variety of important matters. One such matter is the possibility of a revision of our Book of Common Prayer.

Thursday Bible Study
|
Thursday Bible Study @ 3:00 pm + Eucharist @ 4:00 pm in the Beck Library
Join us as we explore the first letter of Timothy is written by the Apostle Paul to Timothy. We first meet Timothy in Acts 16, where we are told Timothy is a disciple, whose mother was a
believer (Acts 16:2). The believers in the area spoke well of Timothy, and Paul took Timothy along on the on-going mission of preaching the Gospel and planting and strengthening churches (Acts 16:3-4). The letters of 1 & 2 Timothy reveal a strong relationship, in which Paul has trained and encouraged Timothy in church leadership, and in particular in preaching and teaching.
