The Perfect Sunday

It may have been—perfect.

It was a fitting, moving, and festive celebration of our deliverance from those ugly words in the Book of Discipline declaring a malicious falsehood: that being gay is “incompatible” with Christian faith.

Mary preached and consecrated the elements for Communion.

Mary preached a fine sermon–and she preached from the high pulpit for the first time. (I forgot to tell her that, when she is up there, the fan in the north transept must be turned on. Otherwise—it’s hot!)

Julian sang Bridge Over Troubled Waters—and got another standing ovation. 

 It was a great day.

Our Special Offering

Our special offering Sunday (to get us through a tight spot) was over $11,000. We give thanks.

This offering will do two things, one immediate, the other later. It will help get us through our tight month (May) and later, it will help us meet our obligations at the end of the year.

I depend on the people of this church always coming through.

And the people of this church always come through. We lift our praise to the Lord.

Breakfast this Sunday

It’s a “We-Bring Sunday.”

I’ll bring “pigs-in-a croissant.” 

Let’s have breakfast together—10:30 a.m.

Ascension Sunday this week—

Then Pentecost.

Sermon This Sunday: The Great Miscalculation

We are in prayer for those who are ill and those who have lost loved ones.

See You Sunday. (Just do your best.)

              God Bless—MB

BY THE WAY—we have a big dinner a week from Sunday—on Pentecost. Get ready to bring.
