Nametags – please remember to wear your nametags at church. This will make it easier for Tim and Bob to get to know your names. Contact Michele (664-4237) if you need a new one.
Garage Sale, Friday & Saturday, June 15 & 16: As you read this we’ll be in the final throes of putting the 2012 Garage Sale together for the grand opening of this year’s event at Priscilla Trafton’s home. The tents will go up on Thursday morning (please call Ted Bromage 244-3227 if you can help erect them). Open for business from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday, we always appreciate any additional help you’d be willing to offer. We especially need muscular souls throughout the day (mostly Friday) who can help lift and load some of the heavier objects into customer’s vehicles. Please give Mary (244-9951) a call if you can help sell or load.
Quietside Fair @ St. John, Saturday, July 14th: The four-day Harbor House Flamingo Festival begins on Friday, July 13th, followed on Saturday the 14th by the Flamingo Parade, which will lead the community to our Quietside Fair @ St. John at 10 a.m. Our visitors (and we hope customers) will find the Plant Sale, Basket Raffle, Silent Auction, Handicrafts, Antique Boutique, and the ubiquitous Treasure Trove open for business. Besides the opportunities above, our guests can quaff lemonade and satisfy their hunger with pies and other baked goodies. This is a major fundraiser for our church and again, part of this year’s profit will go to the Hancock County Medical Mission. Your volunteer help is always appreciated, and if you haven’t signed up yet, call Mary Mitchell (244 9951).
St. Saviour’s and
Congregational Care teams are invited to the St. Saviour's Choir Room at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 13 for a simple potluck supper and a conversation with Tim about our ministry so far and our plans for the future. This meeting is also open to those who were not able to attend the team building meetings of 2011-12 but have an interest in this ministry as a way to live out your calling as a member of one of our congregations.
St. Saviour’s:
Taizé service - 7pm on Thursday, June 21. The Taizé style of chant reflects both the simplicity of life of the abbey, and the community’s commitment to an all-embracing, ecumenical approach to ritual and prayer. The service moves gently, ebbing and flowing through its succession of chants, silent reflection, and the reading of scripture. Silence is key to the service, allowing you to be not only active in the voicing of your prayer, but contemplative in your openness to hear and experience the compassionate, forgiving Christ, whose image we see beckoning peace and reconciliation. Come experience another form of worship with members of the community.
