Tony’s
Recovery – Tony was released from
the Hospital on July 3 and is at home. He still has a long road of recovery and
hopes to be able to come by church when he has more strength. Please continue
to keep him and his family in your prayers as his recovery continues.
St. John’s Nursery – The
Vestry has elected to take a break from staffing the nursery for the remainder
of the summer. As such, the Seeking Sitter nursery attendant coverage will be
away for the remainder of the summer. All children who attend worship are
welcome in the service.

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 Election – Thank
you to all who have agreed to serve on the Vestry to fill the vacant position
following Joe’s departure. An announcement will be made on Sunday who has been
appointed to join our Parish Leadership.
Leaving
a Lasting Impression – Would you like to leave your mark on the earth? Maybe your name or
the name of loved ones. If you are interested in having an engraved brick in
the St. John’s walkway Contact Bernice at 538-1237 or talk to her at church on
Sunday and let her know you are interested in taking part in the project. The
fee is $100.00 per brick. If you haven’t noticed them before, they are located
within the Trinity Garden area near the Parish House. Take a walk and check
them out.
Sanctuary Roof Update
– The Vestry has completed
approximately 6 months’ research into the state of the Sanctuary Roof. In that
period a number of contractors have been by to survey the roof; to recommend
remediation measures; and provide proposals for remediation. The Vestry will
make a presentation of the findings and recommended solutions to the Parish
shortly for information, discussion, and decision making. There are photographs
available that provide details about the state of the Sanctuary Roof in the
Church Office.
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 82 together. The Psalm will be set to Hymn 43,
“All praise to the, my God, this night” (The Eighth Tune) from the
Hymnal 1982. The words and music will be found on a bulletin insert.
Church Flowers – No one has signed up to sponsor flowers for the
next two months. Please
consider volunteering to provide flowers to beautify our sanctuary during
worship. 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.
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 Amos 7:7-17, “’Locust,
Fire, and a Plumb Line’ and ‘Amaziah complains to the king’” from 9:15-10:15 am
in the Parish Hall. Next week’s class will discuss our Old Testament reading
Amos 8:1-12, “The Basket of Fruit.” All are invited to come together in the Parish
Hall from 9:15 to 10:15 am.
Thought
for the week – Change: What’s most significant in what Jesus promises us is that we can
change. We can change, and we need to change to become fully and wholly the
person God has created us to be.
