Welcome to the 6th Sunday of Easter. (Pentecost is lurking...)
The Books of Acts - what a surprise - offers a lesson on the indiscriminate nature of God's love; the first letter of John continues to wax poetic about our loving response to that, as does the assigned portion of John;s Gospel. Love abounds this week...
Our volunteers for this Sunday: Hpe Sayles will be the lector assigned to Acts; Martha Grahame will read from the first letter of John; and Deb Shupe will serve as our prayer leader.
Following the service, Dr. David Brakke will lecture on the new leadership emerging in the church as reflected in the Pastoral epistles and the changes that came with them. (Spoiler alert: Women suddenly find themselves on the outside looking in) This time for sure!! We hope that you'll join us.

Evensong- On the last Sunday of each month at 6pm, a virtual Evensong service will be offered.
The inspiration for the theme of this month's Evensong is a message regarding love, as found in the third chapter of 1John. A creative liturgy of readings, prayers and music, sacred and secular together will provide opportunity for thoughtful contemplation and quiet reflection.
Please join us on Sunday evening, May 30, 2021 at 6pm.

Pandemic Regathering News
With re-gathering for worship indoors close at hand, one of the most important tasks before us is the training and equipping of our team of ushers - the men and women who will greet and direct our congregants to assure their safety and our compliance with all Diocesan and local government guidelines and protocols.
Ushering is one of our valued and unsung ministries but now it is one of the most vital parts of re-gathering process.
To that end, our Head Usher Nate Pope is convening a training session on Saturday morning, May 8, at 10 AM for not just our current volunteers but to any others who feel called to serve in this role at this time. We need you. The training will focus on the information included in the Usher's Checklist
link to checklist >>> LINK
Please prayerfully consider this invitation. All of the good that we attempt to do is fueled by those moments of gathering, where we share stories of love and faith and are fed by bread and win as a reminder of who we are and what we called to do and be.
Thanks.
Ken+

It's official! The Calvert Arts Festival has been officially scheduled for October 9, 2021.
With the focus on the health and safety of our volunteers, artisans, and guests; we have decided to hold the 2021 Calvert Arts Festival this year from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, October 9th. We feel that as more people get vaccinated and the infection numbers continue to drop, we can do this by adhering to all national, state, as well local guidelines, including those put forward by the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland.
