Scripture Readings for Sunday, June 27, 2021
Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
A woman finds healing by touching Jesus’ cloak, and a girl is restored to life when he takes her by the hand. In both cases a boundary is crossed: in Jesus’ time the hemorrhaging woman was considered ritually unclean, polluting others by her touch, and anyone who touched a corpse also became unclean. In Mark’s gospel Jesus breaks down barriers, from his first meal at a tax collector’s house to his last breath on the cross as the temple curtain is torn in two. We dare to touch Jesus in our “uncleanness” and to live as a community that defines no one as an outsider.
From the desk of Pastor Katie

Grace, peace and every good be with you!

We are halfway through our week of summer camp-- what a great group of campers, great group of staff and a great camp!

Over the 71 years that Camp Chrysalis has been operating, thousands of lives have been touched. There's been many changes over the years and many things have stayed the same. One of those things that has stayed the same is the sanctuary that this place has provided for our young people. This has consistently been a place for trying new things, experiencing new forms of worship and song, learning about God and being challenged in new ways.

Camp is a Spirit filled place and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to experience the awe and wonder of this place myself and now getting to witness our young people do the same.

If you'd like to learn more about Camp Chrysalis and Crosstrails Ministry - head on over to their website or let's get together for a cup of coffee when I return home. I'd love to hear how you've been touched by outdoor ministry as much as I'd love to share about our camps.

Reminder: I'll be out of the office on vacation starting Friday June 18 until June 23, please contact Cathy Bryant

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

All my love to each of you.
Peace and grace be with you,
<><
Pastor Katie

Getting ready for VBS
A property clean-up day has been scheduled for Saturday, July 10th from 8 til noon in order to get the grounds ready for VBS. Our young people will be using as much of the outdoor space as possible, so the back areas of the church, the Church office and the 502 MC need to be cleaned and cleared. Any help is appreciated. Please bring regular garden hand tools, gloves and a smile. Hope to see you there!
