...To know Christ and to make Him known
Mark 4:26-34
Fourth Sunday after Pentecost

Happy Father’s Day
 
As a former Hospital Chaplain, I have seen some interesting cases of healing happen in people's lives. Modern medicine can bring relief of pain, remove, replace and repair many of our bodily malfunctions.  But when we use the word healing, we are also talking about other types of healing, like psychological and spiritual.  A reality modern medicine is coming to accept more and more.
The truth is, we are profoundly in the dark when it comes to questions of healing and sickness.  They remain one of the great mysteries of life. How the mind, the body and spirit connect will probably never be fully understood.  The healing field through religion is full of charlatans and devotees on the lunatic fringe; there are a lot of ruthless egotists who prey upon trusting people in their hour of trouble.
Here is what I believe and know. Each of us is made in one piece all tied together in a unit.  Our attitude and hopefulness and our emotional supports are essential to our healing.  And yet over the years, we have probably witnessed cases of sick people who had high hopes, authentic love and bold trust, yet have not gotten well.  And there are other people who are distant to everything spiritual, who have no apparent gratitude for life's goodness, and yet are miraculously healed. And yet, I will proclaim that in spite of all that goes on in the name of "faith healing," I still believe in the healing power of God to transform us physically, spiritually, and emotionally. At the very center of the Christian faith is a bold proclamation that we can be healed, and at the heart of life dwells a power great enough to transform the world.
Grace Episcopal Church in San Marcos is a place of hope and healing where God can give you a new beginning! That’s why I am so happy to announce the re-igniting of our Healing Ministry with Pam Wheatland. Joining Pam will be Susan Newlin, Georgia Schultz and others.  Please join them at the end of our service at the South doors for support and prayers for healing.

Peace,
Fr. Munoz

 ****Buildings and Grounds Funds Campaign****
  
Grace is situated at a moment in its history when God is calling us once again to a renewed greatness. True greatness, however, comes in serving and that is what Grace has done in its past and now proposes to do in a new way in the future. Grace’s grounds are beautiful; our buildings have a unique historical architectural quality, we have an abundance of land and a large parking lot, but they need upkeep if we are to attract people who will share in serving with a dynamic church that is growing rather than looking like it's at its last legs. To that end, we need to raise $50,000 to do this care and conservation; the good news is there is a lot of excitement and we are at about $14,000 or just above a quarter of the way there.  
Please prayerfully consider making a donation or pledge to the beautification of our landscaping and parking lot repairs. 
If you have already given towards this campaign,
thank you!

Together we can accomplish anything!  
 
In addition to the landscaping project, we are brainstorming ideas on a Labyrinth meditation garden and collecting some names and advice for professional designers/landscapers that might help us out. We have visions of transforming our current landscape of mulch to a welcoming landscape that will invite folks into our church, our churchyards and the Labyrinth. We are also thinking of low watering and maintenance requirements that we hope can be achieved with the help of creative designers. We hope to hold a brainstorming and ideation session toward the end of June. If you are interested in this project, please contact Susan Newlin and/or Janet Marseilles
