Rector's Reflections
|
Sabbath Was Made For You
In Sunday's gospel (Mark 2:23-3:6) Jesus tells his critics, "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath." We keep our weekly sabbath, gathering for prayer and Bible study, songs of praise and petition, and fellowship with others. Just as healing the man with the withered hand was work that could not wait, so is carrying the gospel into the whole world an activity that ought not be restricted to one day a week. Welcoming these elements of our weekly worship in our daily lives helps us to remember the sabbath and share the good news with others each and every day.
It is good to remember that the sabbath rest is not just for the people of Israel. It is not just for the faithful followers. The sabbath rest is for all, even slaves, aliens, and livestock. This makes it clear that God's grace is not limited to people of faith or people who believe the right way or trust the right things. Grace comes to all. People of faith have the joy of knowing whom to thank.
May God, whose power working in us can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine,
grant you the gifts of faith and hope!

Our siblings in Christ at Trinity, Meredith wrote and have been praying this prayer that I think you might like:
O God who stretches us beyond what is comfortable: help us to be open to your Spirit as we move toward wholeness. Renew us in our faith. May we explore our gifts and grow together in love to become a community that witnesses to the power of hope. We pray in the strong name of Jesus. Amen.

Summer Fair News
|
Summer Fair is quickly approaching. The move of items to the undercroft Day is June 10th after the 10: am service. Usually there are many items to move from the garage but not this year. If you have items stored at home and require some assistance with moving them into the undercroft, please bring them in your vehicle on June 10th. After the 10;00 am service we are hoping to have folks available to carry items. If you are available please plan on helping with the transfer of items.
There will be posters on all back doors to identify acceptable items for the fair We are hoping this will prevent the dropping off of items we cannot sell.
If you have suggestions pertaining to the fair, please contact Joanne Crowe or Clint Brown. Thank you!

Thanks to the "Holy Rollers" who are preparing the preschool classrooms for Wolfeboro Nursery School who will be moving from the Wolfeboro Train Station to All Saints in August (new floors will be installed in July following the summer fair). Peter and Susie Walker and Bob and Christie Parker have been covering the mint green wall with a more neutral "vanilla milkshake" (how many colors of off-white are there?). Please thank them for sharing their gifts of time and talent on this project!
