Parish Property Projects –
There
are a number of small projects in the churchyard that could stand some
attention. If you are willing and able to “tend the beds” before it gets too
hot, please contact the Rector.
Catch
the Spirit T-Shirts – We are trying to get a good tally of who has
a red “Saint John’s Episcopal Church Chuckatuck, Virginia – Catch the Spirit”
t-shirt. There may be an opportunity to purchase more shirts and we’d like to
find out who has one and who would like one. Please let one of the Vestry
members or the Parish Office know if you have a shirt.

Chuckatuck Volunteer
Fire Department Fish Fry – The spring Fish Fry fundraiser for the
Chuckatuck Volunteer Fire Department will be held on Saturday June 8 from 4:00
– 7:00 pm. Please come out and support our local all volunteer Fire and
Rescue Department. Be on the lookout for more information about the ticket cost
and locations to purchase tickets. When you attend – wear your “Catch the Spirit”
t-shirt.
Vestry
Special Election – Due to Joe Fisher’s
resignation from the Vestry, we will hold a special election to fill the
vacancy for the remainder of his term (through 2014). Please prayerfully
consider if you are called to serve in this leadership position. For more
information contact any Vestry Member, the Rector, or Don.
Talbot
Hall Property Update – Bishop Hollerith has provided an update about
the status of the Diocesan Center at Talbot Hall. For more information please
check out this link: http://www.diosova.org/article315237.htm.
Sanctuary Roof Update
– The Vestry is in the
process of gathering more recommendations and bids for the Sanctuary Roof. They
are inviting a few contractors to ascertain the state of the roof and make a
recommendation about retaining the present roof, repairing what is present, or
replacing the roof system. We are looking for estimates using a variety of
materials to ensure thoroughness while maintaining the integrity of the
sanctuary – wood shingles, engineered wood-like shingles, and architectural
shingles. Once all recommendations and bids are received the vestry will
present the findings to the Parish for information, discussion, and decision
making.
Today’s Psalm – We will sing the portion of the Psalter in together
using a metrical version of the Psalter from A New Metrical Psalter by
Christopher Webber as we sing Psalm 96 together. The Psalm will be set to Hymn 544,
“Jesus shall reign where’er the sun” (Duke Street) from the Hymnal 1982.
The words and music will be found on a bulletin insert.
Church Flowers – The Altar Guild has posted the flower sign-up
sheet in the Narthex. Please read the sign-up instructions also posted in the
Narthex. If you have any questions, please contact Lynn.
Our Thanksgivings – We are collecting tangible statements
regarding our blessings and thanksgivings in the jar in the Narthex.
Formation Classes – This week we will discuss 1 Kings 18:20-40,
“Elijah’s Triumph over the Priests of Baal” from 9:15-10:15 am in the Parish
Hall. Next week’s class will discuss the Old Testament lesson 1 Kings 17:8-24,
“’The Widow of Zarephath’ and ‘Elijah Revives the Widow’s Son’” from
9:15-10:15 am. All are
invited to join us for class next Sunday. A reminder; there is nursery service
available during the education hour.
Thought
for the week – Encounter: Sometimes in our lives we need to be prepared to cross over into
strange new worlds in order to come face to face with the living God. We need
to enter those liminal places to find the divine presence.
- Br. James
