The Rector’s Continuing
Education – Fr. Les will be at Virginia Seminary this coming week for continuing
education. Regrettably, this absence coincides with Don’s absence from the
office. In an emergency Fr. Les can be reached on his cell phone. However, if
more immediate need arises please contact the Senior Warden, Leone Vigil on her
cell (757-651-3681). During his absence, Rev. Ileana Rosario will be standing
by for immediate clerical needs.

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.
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.
Tony’s
Accident – As mentioned earlier this
week, Tony suffered an on-the-job accident on Tuesday. He is in Norfolk General
Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit for the foreseeable future. He is not
currently receiving guests but his family appreciates your prayers and cards.
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 146 together. The Psalm will be set to Hymn
671, “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound” (St. Agnes) 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 17:8-24, “’The
Widow of Zarephath’ and ‘Elijah Revives the Widow’s Son’” from 9:15-10:15 am in
the Parish Hall. Next week’s class will discuss the Old Testament lesson 1
Kings 21:1-21, “’Naboth’s Vineyard’ and ‘Elijah Pronounces God’s Sentence’” 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 – Call: None of us is without a call. God’s call to each of us is
continuous and ongoing. Be attentive to what it is that God is asking you to be
or to do today. Trust that your weakness presents no obstacle to God. Do what
you can. God will accomplish the rest.
