Spring Clean - Tomorrow, Saturday, June 15th- 9:15am
Saturday is forecast to be a fine day for St. Brendan's Spring Cleanup- yes, it is still Spring until next Friday!
The chore list, as I see it includes:
- washing the windows of the Parish Hall, inside and out. Newsprint and vinegar/water solution in spray bottles provided. The church has one step ladder, I can bring another, it wouldn't hurt to bring a favorite step stool if you have one. Nina Dayton has signed on as an interior eye-level window cleaner; could use at least one other. I will find a suitable ladder for tackling the inside high windows.
- Garden spaces are ripe for weeding and edging. If that is your cup of tea bring your favorite tools, gloves (I have extra ones), sun hat, kneeling pad ( we have several child size chairs that can be brought outside if you like to sit to weed. I'm open to suggestions about mulch to slow down re-growth of weeds and welcome perennial divisions or contributions of annuals that might flourish in the semi-shade of the bed outside the meeting rooms. The strip of garden space by the hall entrance is covered in poppies that have reseeded. Think about other plants to install there that will bring us joy after the poppy bloom.
- the three raised beds in the side yard are available for growing anyone's heart's desire. I weeded one a few weeks ago and planted some peas around one corner as a teaser to more interest in planting and maintaining these beds. Perhaps feasting on some rhubarb delicacy from the robust plant in the third bed will inspire us. Anyone feel like baking? I'll deliver the rhubarb
��
- ! I almost forgot, there are several large planters in the basement that could be brought back into service to enhance our Summer facade.
- There is a handle and lockset that is begging to be installed in the new outside door to the basement.
- The steps to the front door are a painting project. I hope to do some prepping ahead of time if the weather and time permit. If not there will be scrapers and sand paper on site Saturday morning.
- There is a picky cleaning project on the white railings leading to the parish hall- mossy green growth at the bottom of the balusters. Small bucket, bleach, sponge, toothbrush, and gloves provided. If you accept this job be prepared to value bleach spots as a fashion statement. Maybe soap and water will do the trick.
- Redistributing plowed up gravel back to the driveway. There is a wheel barrow at the church. I will bring what I have for shovels and takes but bring your own if you have a favorite.
- Dump run with some things in the basement for trash pile or take-it-or leave-it building. Need truck.
This list should get us going. Thanks to the people who responded to an earlier call to service:
-Richard Paget and Skip Greenlaw for taking down and safely stowing the window inserts.
-Tom Van Buren for getting to the bottom of the "cup drawer that wouldn't stay closed"problem and fixing it!
-to Carolyn Mor who swept the granite steps so vigorously the broom broke.
��
- the mowing team for at least two mowings so far.
See you Saturday. Knowing your intentions ahead of time could be helpful for planning. Several people have let me know they can't be on deck this Saturday but look forward to helping some other time.

First Sunday after Pentecost - Trinity Sunday:
The first Sunday after Pentecost has been celebrated as a feast in honor of the Holy Trinity since the tenth century. Most festivals of the year celebrate a historical event,
and although we celebrate a doctrine today, it is a doctrine based on historical events that revealed the nature of God as the Holy Trinity.
The first reading is from Proverbs. Here Wisdom speaks. She is the personification of God's mighty power. Wisdom describes herself as God's agent in creating the universe. Here we find an indication of the multi-personal God fully revealed as the Holy Trinity by Christ. In the reading from Romans, we find Paul articulating the growing discovery of the first Christians that we experience God's salvation as the work of the Father, of Jesus, and of the Holy Spirit.
In the Gospel reading from John, Jesus describes the work of the Father, the Spirit, and himself as the work of the one God. This is not a developed doctrine of the Trinity (one was not fully developed by the church until the fifth century), but in it God is described as a dynamic relationship into which we are incorporated through the Holy Spirit.
We come together to celebrate the Eucharist, and, called together by the Spirit, we encounter Christ in word and sacrament revealing the Father, and leading us into that eternal exchange of love which is at the heart of the Blessed Trinity.

Icon of St. Brendan by Siri Beckman
Lord, we will trust you.
Help us to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown.
Give us the faith to leave old ways and break new ground with you.
Christ of the mysteries, we trust you to be stronger than each storm
within us.
We will trust in the darkness and know that our times are in your hand.
Tune our spirit to the music of heaven, and somehow, make our obedience count for you.
-Prayer attributed to St. Brendan
