N O T I C E
Our Scouts will be heading out for Summer Camp this Sunday morning. The upper parking will be closed to provide an area for packing and hitching the trailer as well as space for family send-offs. Thanks so much for your cooperation!
Vestry
The Vestry saw a fork in the road and took it. We met in a hybrid format for the first time in 16 months! Those that met in person were masked and socially distanced, sitting at the back of the church near the coffee table. A few others joined via Zoom. It’s another small step towards normalcy.
Some of this Vestry meeting was spent reviewing survey results. I thank all of you who participated in the survey. We had a pretty good response and it helped shape our path forward for the summer months. The results were not tightly clustered, so we are providing multiple worship options that should allow everyone to find something in their pandemic comfort zone:
- 8:30 indoor worship, masks are required for this service
- Livestreaming of the 8:30 service
- 10:30 outdoor worship in the memorial garden (when the weather cooperates). Masks are optional at the 10:30 service except if the service is moved indoors because of weather and you’re singing. Diocesan guidelines for the yellow phase require us to wear a mask when singing indoors. They’re optional at the outdoor 10:30 service and they’re even optional if the 10:30 service is moved indoors except when you’re singing.
Kristin will be taking some well-deserved time off this July. Contact me if you have a pastoral need and I’ll connect you with a pastor in our area that will support us.

OUTOOR HOLY EUCHARIST WITH MUSIC
Join us this Sunday for Holy Eucharist with music

Inclement Weather Announcements
This summer, our 10:30 service will be celebrated outdoors if the weather cooperates. If the weather looks threatening, the 10:30 service will be held indoors. when we decide to celebrate the 10:30 service indoors, we’ll post an announcement to our Facebook page by 8:00 am Sunday morning. (In the past we sent an email on Saturday afternoon. This new streamlined approach gets us out of the weather forecasting business – a little, anyways.)
