With Bulletin for June 27 Services

June 26, 2021

Notes

Dear St. Paul’s Church Family,

Like swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, our snowbirds are back. Welcome home! Summer has officially begun. With the pandemic mostly behind us, I am receiving nearly daily requests to schedule or reschedule Baptisms, weddings, and (sadly) memorial services. In my conversations with families planning these events, I am reminded of the joy and refreshment that generations of people find on this special island. Even with all of our community’s challenges and seasonal crowding, we are all so blessed to be here together now.

If you have returned recently, please note St. Paul’s new Sunday schedule of in-person Morning Prayer & Eucharist at 8:00 in the Memorial Garden accompanied by birds and at 9:30 inside church accompanied by vocalists (which we will continue to broadcast). Please see the details below and put your order in for the July 15th Summer unFair II - Lobster-Palooza, a delicious fundraising effort organized by Sheila Daume to benefit our expanding work in the community.

Christine is away in Maine on vacation with her family this week, but Joe and I are around if you need assistance or entry into the church or parish house. Until we figure out how to secure our broadcasting equipment, we are not yet leaving the church open all day as we do normally. As we readjust, an expanded parish event schedule will soon be forthcoming.

Blessings,

Max

Music: Don Michael Dicie (b. 1941) Joseph Gioe, flute

How lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts, to me! My thirsty soul desires and longs within thy courts to be; my very heart and flesh cry out, O living God, for thee. Beside thine altars, gracious Lord, the swallows find a nest; how happy they who dwell with thee and praise thee without rest, and happy they whose hearts are set upon the pilgrim's quest. Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me. And in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be; and in God's house forevermore, my dwelling place shall be.
