Welcome to the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost...
Now, about the texts.... The Book of Samuel will be the focal point of our reflections as the prophet is confronted by a people who are hellbent on having a king in spite of the warnings and pleadings from God. This ties into the passage from Mark about Satan's house divided, but I am not going to tell you how or why here. No spoilers. The excerpt from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians offers a word of encouragement that flies in the face of the conditions on the ground.
Our volunteers for the Zoom (10AM) service are: Deb Watson - reading Samuel - Martha Grahame will read from Paul's letter to Corinth; and Patti At Lee is our prayer leader. As will be the case going forward, readers and prayer leaders will always have the option of participating in person or on Zoom. Note: A new schedule for the Zoom service is coming shortly.
Following the service, Dr. David Brakke will offer his concluding lecture in his Understanding the New Testament series. Another note: On June 27 we will begin our summer book study - The Night Watchman, by Louise Edrich. (Details in this newsletter)

Evensong- On the last Sunday of each month at 6pm, a virtual Evensong service will be offered. Next offering will be June 27.
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.

Adult Formation - Our Next Offerings
On Wednesday mornings at 9 - via Zoom - we have begun to explore the evolution of the understanding of Jesus as divine being, and how the gospels differ and how tradition has shaped our understanding. Dr. Bart Ehrman of the University of North Carolina is our guide.
On Sunday mornings, following the 10 AM service, we will begin a summer book study on The Night Watchman, a novel by Louise Edrich that is based on the extraordinary life of her grandfather who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against native dispossession and the termination of his own tribe. Through the character -Thomas - we will explore themes of love and death, hope and betrayal, darkness and light. Please secure a copy of the book - and/or call us if you need assistance. We will begin our discussions on Sunday, June 27.

Friday Night Trivia at the Scorpion - 6:30 PM
And so we roll into June with a contest that is as random as the weather these days. Spring fever has yielded a stream of consciousness quiz that should contain something for everybody - at least those who have had similar life experiences and traumas to those of the quizmaster.
Nonetheless, at 6:30 we will engage in yet another trivial test of your memory and stamina with six grueling rounds of questions, two video rounds and a final question that will separate the pedestrian players from the true champions. Though we will continue to use the Zoom platform, the QM will be present at Scorpion in-person to both offer encouragement and to taunt those who dare this quest. (No autographs or photos, please)
Here is the link for our contest:

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. *Updated* No bread items, please. A lot of bread had to be thrown away as it was already visibly moldly and out of date. If it is full when you bring a donation please don't leave any 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.

PLEASE NOTE AND RESPECT
Parish buildings are not open now. Only individuals specifically authorized for an essential service may be in them (e.g., Heartfelt food packing). Those authorized individuals must wear masks, must practice social distancing and must sanitize touch areas as they enter and as they leave. This is not a matter of personal choice and applies to everyone including volunteers, business suppliers, and contract personnel. If you note a deviation, you may politely remind the individual. If you are not comfortable doing that or doing so doesn’t correct the problem, please contact a church officer. A sign in sheet Is at each entrance.
