A Handful of Inspiration

"... with an eye made quiet by the power

Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,

We see into the life of things."

~W. Wordsworth

Don't Miss Acadia Choral Society's Concerts

this Weekend!

Introducing: SASJ MidWeek Coffee Hour with Cricket:

Tuesdays at 10am,

at St John's

It has been, for many of us,

a delight to return to

morning worship in

Southwest Harbor & enjoy coffee and conversation together.

That said, your 9am Celebrant has to hurry across the island for the 11am service, and misses that informal fellowship time.

Starting May 13th, come for coffee/tea or

just to chat!

Bring your beverage, or we'll have the coffee on here, too.

An Evening with Bishop Budde and Tim Shriver

Thursday, May 22, 7 pm

Join Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde and Tim Shriver, founder of the Dignity Index, for an evening conversation exploring the role of dignity in our public life. This timely discussion brings faith, education and public leadership into dialogue to lessen polarization and find hope for our democracy.

This event is part of the Cathedral's ongoing "A Better Way" initiative—a series of events designed to help Americans live together, learn from each other, and find a way forward as a nation in polarized times.

Tickets are pay-what-you-wish. Livestream available.
