From the Sabbatical Minister

I participated in such an inspirational retreat in Iona, Scotland led by Jenny Rank
in and Tricia Brennan. It was a perfect addition to the labyrinth walk at Cynthia and Dick Perkin's house, in fact we took a pilgrimage walk to Columbo Bay and at the end there was another labyrinth made of stones on the white sands.
Tricia and Jenny led us in many different spiritual practices including Lectio Devina and Evening Examine. I spoke a bit about the Evening Examine in my sermon last week and several of you have asked for more information about the practice and or a copy of my sermon. The practice is ancient and comes from the
Ignatian
branch of Catholicism.
If you would like to reread my sermon from Sunday or if you missed getting to worship you can read it here. I hope you are all staying cool in this summer heat. I am back and available if you need me for any reason. My cell number is 617-459-5979 and email or set up an appointment with me online here.
I hope to see you in Church.
Love
Rali

The music this week cross-references itself and our hymns every which way. Soloists Thomas Gregg will sing hymn texts Rock of Ages and Still, Still With Thee in newer settings by James Woodman (written for the Evening of Premieres given at King's Chapel for Dan Pinkham's 75th birthday) and John Ness Beck. The organ voluntaries are by Danish composer Jesper Madsen; the postlude is based on the tune for our closing hymn, Not Only Where God's Free Winds Blow.

Tuesday Morning Meditation | Tuesdays 7:30 AM| Little Chapel
An early Tuesday Morning Meditation meets in our beautiful Little Chapel at 7:30 to 8:30 AM each Tuesday, including approximately a 20 minute meditation. We explore and experiment a bit, so if you have some ideas or are a little adventurous, this brief coming side by side with others in your church community may bring some welcome fun, joy and/or peace to your day. This is for "drop-in" participation - no long term obligations. Never meditated before? Drop by and give it a try. Feel free to contact Gary Riccio at
gary.riccio@me.com, or Stephen Courtney at scourtney@scixstudio.com for more details.

Accessibility Assists
Our beautiful Georgian sanctuary was designed by Peter Harrison and completed in 1754. To make our services and programs more accessible, one of the box pews has been made wheel-chair accessible. Ushers are available to assist those wheelchair users to that pew. Additionally, we have installed an accessible bathroom on our main floor. An usher can direct you to the vestry.
A sound system has been installed in the sanctuary of The Chapel to amplify the sound during worship services. Hearing assistance devices are available for your use. Please see an Usher for assistance.
