Pentecost Sunday May 31

Martha Whitaker will be sharing all of your Pentecost Sunday photos-selfies in an album on Facebook. Just like on Easter, send your photos of you or your group watching the service in your finest orange or red. Send to mplwhitaker@gmail. It will be great to see everyone in pictures!

Youth Group

Youth Group will continue to meet on Zoom on Sundays at 12:30p.m. The group is planning to donate some of their budget to help with others' efforts in response to the pandemic. Jessica sent out letters to the youth with activities, permission forms, and "About Me" pages. We communicate through a group chat and the group is slowly coming together. If you have a teenager in your home, email [email protected] so we can keep everyone together and give you the zoom link. We recently celebrated our graduates and are very proud of all of the youth for handling these different times!

GRIEF GROUP, STARTING MAY 29

Before and during this pandemic, many people have suffered significant life-changing losses, leading to Grief. Laurie Finn and Rev. Chris Ledyard are inviting you to a Zoom internet Grief Spiritual Support group, starting May 29 starting at 10 am and ending by 11:30am . The group will last seven weeks, and you can participate in the comfort of your home. We'll use the book Breathing Light: Accompanying Loss and Grief with Love and Gratitude. There is limited space in order to ensure that we have a comfortable environment where you can feel safe to share when/if you want to do so. Please call the office quickly at 520-327-6857 (Tues-Fri 9a-12noon) and tell them you'd like to enroll in the group. Be sure to include your mailing address (so we can mail you the booklet, free of charge) and your email address so we can give you the group sign-on information. As with prior grief groups, this is a time-limited spiritual support group, with prayer, music, sharing/discussion; it is not a psychotherapy group.

A TON OF THANKS!

Thank you to all who contributed dog and cat food to GSP's Animals and Spirituality Ministry's semi-annual collection for our Pantry guests' companion animals. Your generous contributions, along with a gift from Gap Ministries resulted in a ton of dog and cat food. Yes, literally a little more than 2000 lbs of food was donated. And each and every pound that you contributed is very important. For those who are keeping track, it was primarily dog food, close to 80%. And a HUGE shout-out/thank you to Shari Murphy, et al who repacked the food for distribution. The abundance of your generosity is incredible as each of you are truly a gift from God. The dogs and cats of our Pantry are more than grateful for your compassionate action.

New Guided Meditation Begins May 27 at 7 PM

Grace St. Paul’s has offered an in-person Interfaith Meditation on Tuesday Evenings for many years. To replace that tradition in these times, The Rev. Lynn Hunter is offering a new Guided Meditation.

This form of meditation uses an adaption from the Buddhist tradition of loving kindness. It is a guided meditation based on the work of Sharon Salzberg. The meditation will last approximately 30 minutes.

It is open to anyone who would like another means of connection, to deepen their spiritual life and to offer loving kindness. If you are looking for another anxiety reducer:

Come check it out every Wednesday evening at 7 PM beginning May 27.

Five minutes of introduction and check-in will be followed by the guided meditation itself

at 7:05 PM.

Grace St. Paul's is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
