Welcome to Pentecost!!!! (At least, the Zoom version. There will be another mailing for those who might like to attend in-person, though the bulletin and all texts still apply)
About those texts... We open with the prophet Ezekiel - a guy I would love to have over for dinner - as he stands in the valley of the dry bones. (No, I'm serious about the dinner thing) We then move to the book of Acts and its more dramatic account of the sending of the Holy Spirit. (In John's gospel it is not much more than an 'Oh, by the way.." after dinner) And then we have John's gospel, but from an earlier portion of that material. Confused? Not to worry, our good deacon, Lisa+, will make sense of it all.
Our volunteers for this Sunday: Lissi Mojica will be reading Ezekiel, Dave Shupe will be the lector assigned to Acts; and Deb Watson is our prayer leader.
Following the service, Dr. David Brakke will do an overview of the Book of Revelation which must mean that we are near the end of his lecture series....

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.

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.
Mark your calendars now for the 13th Annual Calvert Arts Festival this fall. More information coming soon!

A note about the Little Free Pantry. If it is full when you bring a donation please don't leave food on top of the cabinet. Animals can and have found it and made a mess. Leave your donation in the church instead if it's full and we'll see that it gets added as supplies get low. Thanks.
