Driveway
markers – Please thank Steven for the back breaking work he did last Sunday
afternoon. There are two new 4x4 posts at the entrance by the Parish House to
help people to find the entrance in low-light conditions.
Parish History: The
Glebe Farm – Under 1802 law
“Overseers of the Poor” in counties could seize and sell glebes and distribute
the proceeds to the poor in their counties. The act “exempted from seizure and
sale any personal donations of property to churches that had occurred before 1
January 1777.”
In 1803 the Court of Appeals was deadlocked 2-2 ruling on
Manchester Vestry’s petition to declare the law unconstitutional thereby it
could not overturn the lower court ruling thus allowing glebes to be sold.
The only Parish in Virginia retained its glebe, Suffolk
Parish. They were able to keep their glebe because the glebe had been received
as a gift and no public levies were involved. Their claim went unchallenged and
Suffolk Parish retains over 300 acres of glebe land today.

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 and let her know you are interested in
taking part in the project. The fee is $100.00 per brick and for that you get
up to 3 lines with a maximum of 13 characters each line of dedication. 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. If you would like to
purchase a brick please do so by September 20.
Bishop's Days for
Everyone – Bishop's Days 2014
will be held October 12 at Eastern Shore Chapel, Virginia Beach. Our Bishop's
Days are a whole new experience - new ways to teach, learn, and share. There
are "Ideas Worth Spreading" in Southern Virginia, so we're having our
own TED-style conference. The talks are short, but long on inspiration. The day
should give you new perspectives, ideas and ways of thinking. If you let it, it
could change YOUR world.
Helping
the Viola’s – Tony and Marvetta
appreciate our prayers and good wishes. They would appreciate and gladly
compensate anyone who might have some extra produce from the garden to share
with them. Anything you have over and above what you would use would be
appreciated. If you have something to share please contact Marvetta at home or
on her cell.
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 14 together. The Psalm will be set to Hymn 663,
“The Lord my God my shepherd is” (Crimond) from the Hymnal 1982. The
words and music will be found on a bulletin insert.
Formation Classes – This week we will discuss Jeremiah ’Invasion and
Desolation of Judah Threatened’ and ‘Sorrow for a Doomed Nation’” from
9:15-10:15 am in the Parish Hall. Next week’s class will discuss our Old
Testament reading Jeremiah 8:18-9:1, “The Prophet Mourns for the People.” All
are invited to come together in the Parish Hall from 9:15 to 10:15 am.
Thought
for the week – Abundance: The embrace of God is wider than we like to imagine, the love of
God is deeper than ours will ever be, the welcome of God far surpasses our own
capacity to welcome, the generosity of God outstrips our own.
