With Bulletin For July 3 Service

July 02, 2022

Dear St. Paul’s Church Family,  
Happy Independence Day weekend! Much needed rain is dampening our outdoor activities (and may move our 8:00 o’clock Eucharist indoors tomorrow), yet we have so much to celebrate. Our nation’s bold 246 year-old experiment in representative democracy is under stress, and we are challenged now to overcome our divisiveness and fears and to more effectively work together for the common good. At least we are having that conversation.
  In our Baptismal Covenant, we vow to “seek and serve Christ (God revealed) in ALL persons, loving your neighbor as yourself” and to “strive for justice and peace among ALL people, and respect the dignity of EVERY human being”. With God’s help, we prayerfully strive to fulfill these vows. In doing so, we and the world around us are transformed and God’s Kingdom is brought near. In the meantime, we pray, “Almighty God, in the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail.” (Book of Common Prayer p. 820)
   Kudos and thanks go out to Sheila Daume and her team of artists for creating another precious needlepoint rug wall hanging for St. Paul’s traditional summer rug raffle fundraiser. Thanks go too to Murray’s Toggery Shop for generously hosting our outside table Wednesday through Friday and then displaying our rug daily inside the store and even selling raffle tickets there for us. Fabulous! Please help support Sheila’s efforts, buy some tickets and spread the word. You may be the lucky winner! See you at church.
Yours in Christ,
Max

At the Communion   Now, my tongue, the mystery telling           Ann Martindale
Words: Att. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225?-1274); Tune: Pange lingua, plainsong, Mode 3
Now, my tongue, the mystery telling of the glorious Body sing, and the Blood, all price excelling, which the Gentiles’ Lord and King, once on earth among us dwelling, shed for this world’s ransoming. W Given for us, and condescending to be born for us below, he with us in converse blending dwelt, the seed of truth to sow, till he closed with wondrous ending his most patient life of woe. W Word made flesh, the bread he taketh, by his word his Flesh to be; wine his sacred Blood he maketh, though the senses fail to see; faith alone the true heart waketh to behold the mystery.
