Meditation on Thursdays at 4:00 at St. John’s. Please join us for 30 minutes of shared silence and “prayer of the heart,” an ancient meditative practice of the Christian tradition. All are welcome! We meditate sitting on chairs, though if you prefer to sit on the floor, feel free to bring a mat or cushion. If you are new to meditation, have questions or concerns, or would like more information, please contact Mother Kathleen.

Feed Your Neighbor and Your Soul: Be A Pantry Volunteer.  The new Westside Food Pantry opened for its 26th season on November 6.  We are always in need of a volunteer or two to help us with the twice-monthly distributions at Harbor House.  Volunteers gather to assist our neighbors in receiving vouchers for monthly food purchases.  It's a chance to first-hand share your own compassion and kindness to help a neighbor.  And, of course, your own soul is fed as well.  We are a COMMUNITY TOGETHER: FAR & NEAR.  Contact Dean Henry at deanhenry27@gmail.com, or phone 664-8615 for further information.

Thanksgiving Basket Distribution: Bar Harbor Congregational Church will once again team with the Westside Food Pantry to provide Thanksgiving Meal Baskets to the westside.  Applications for the baskets will be filled-out at the November Sunday distributions of the Pantry.  The baskets will be prepared by the BH Congregational Church, the Pantry will provide financial assistance with the baskets and meat, as well as transport and distribute the baskets from Southwest Harbor. Here's where we need your help.  Two opportunities in this project.  Please consider one or both. If you can help or have any questions, phone Dean Henry at 664-8615.

 

1.  Monday, November 21: pick-up baskets from BH Congregational Church and return them to the Southwest Harbor Fire Station.  We need hatchback, van, or pickup truck vehicles and drivers.  We meet at the Congo Church at 12:30, Monday, Nov. 21, load, and return to SWH.  We should be finished around 1:45 PM.  Also, if you can help load and/or unload vehicles, but do not have transportation let me know.

 

2.  Tuesday, November 22: Help distribute food baskets from the SWH Fire Station from 11 AM until 1 PM.  (Please arrive about 10:45)  This involves retrieving the baskets by assigned number and provide a voucher for meat pickup at the Southwest Food Mart.

Shop for your holiday presents and enjoy the work of local jewelry, weaving, fabric, art glass and ceramic artisans.  Pies, cookies, jams and other baked goods will be available for sale as well.  Decorated table trees, ready to go gift tray baskets and other gifts will be available for immediate purchase to round out your holiday shopping. Many silent auction items will be up for bid including gift certificates from area merchants and restaurants, wine racks, jewelry and crafts. Children can join the fun by stopping at our children's corner to select a gift for loved ones for $1.

We will also be celebrating and blessing the Thanksgiving Dinner Boxes prepared by members of the Bar Harbor Congregational Church and others. Fellowship and refreshments will follow the service next door at St. Saviour’s.

Westside Food Pantry Report: The Pantry opened for our 26th season this past Sunday.  As always, the first Sunday of November and a new distribution season is action-packed.  In two hours a lot was accomplished in getting the new season off to a great start as efficiently as only our corps of veteran and new volunteers can make possible.  The wait and the inconvenience of standing in line was mitigated by the need and the good spirit of our neighbors who showed patience as we all cooperated to bring about the benefits of the Pantry together.  All-in-all fifteen volunteers, a lot of preparation, and caring made it possible to serve 281 of our neighbors with vouchers, Thanksgiving basket registrations, new household registrations and changes, and Angel Tree orders in two short hours.  I was personally happy and grateful with how we all worked so well together!

Here's a feel for the need and the response in numbers:  281 neighbors from 150 households were issued $11,950 worth of food vouchers.  Every household and neighbor was either pre-registered, registered, or verified as new identification account cards were issued.  Thirteen new households were added to our roles comprised of 16 adults and children.  Additionally 110 Thanksgiving Food Basket reservations were made and 37 Angel Tree applications taken.  

I want to thank each of the volunteers who made it possible to respond to our neighbors in the "Westside Pantry Way."  Thank you: Barbara Campbell, Jayne Ashworth, Ellen Brookes, Jim Vekasi, Mary Vekasi, Edie Stanwood, Patsy Fogarty, Ida Smallidge, Gloria Higgins, Ken Brookes, Carol Nelson, Dean Henry, Kathleen Killian, Susan Buell, and Teresa McGowen.

We are off to a good start.  The response to our recently mailed annual appeal is coming in so that we now may have the funds to make this caring possible.  So many doing what they do to make this Westside a better place to live.  It truly does take a Community Together--Near & Far to make it a reality.

Feed Your Neighbor and Your Soul: Be A Pantry Volunteer.  The new Westside Food Pantry opens for its 26th season on November 6.  We are always in need of a volunteer or two to help us with the twice-monthly distributions at Harbor House.  Volunteers gather to assist our neighbors in receiving vouchers for monthly food purchases.  It's a chance to first-hand share your own compassion and kindness to help a neighbor.  And, of course, your own soul is fed as well.  We are a COMMUNITY TOGETHER: FAR & NEAR.  Contact Dean Henry at deanhenry27@gmail.com, or phone 664-8615 for further information.

Annual Thanksgiving Basket Distribution: Monday & Tuesday, November 21 & 22   The Westside Food Pantry supports the Bar Harbor Congregational Church in stocking and distributing Thanksgiving Food Baskets for neighbors on the west side of MDI.  On Monday, November 21, we will pick-up the baskets and deliver them to the Fire Station in Southwest Harbor for distribution on Tuesday, November 22, from 11 AM to 1 PM.  We need drivers Monday to go to Bar Harbor, load and return the baskets to SWH, (approx. noon to 2 PM). Tuesday duties include helping our neighbors claim their reserved baskets at the Fire Station from about 10:30 AM to 1 PM.  If you would like to share in this experience, please contact Dean Henry at deanhenry27@gmail.com, or 664-8615.  Thanks.

St. John and St. Saviour:

PDFs of Mother Kathleen’s sermons and video recordings of Fr. Tim’s sermons are now available on St. Saviour’s website (www.StSaviours.me) – the most recent posted on the home page, and prior Sunday videos archived under “Sermon Recordings” on the left-hand menu.  If you have to miss a Sunday, if you are away for the season, or if you just want to listen again to try to figure out what he was talking about, this is a great way to stay in touch.  You can also find the sermons Tim+ preaches at St. John at (www.StAndrewStJohn.blogspot.com), and look for “Sermon videos online” in the archive listing on the left.

 

Confidential Prayer Chain: Unlike our published prayer lists, prayer requests that come into the Prayer Chain remain private to the prayer chain itself, which will pray devotedly for one week unless an updated request is made. If you’d like to know more about this or our Pastoral Care Team, please contact our office administrators or Mother Kathleen.

 

St. Saviour:

Groundbreaking Ceremony: On Tuesday, November 8, at 10:00 a.m. there will be a groundbreaking ceremony for Local Solutions. After four years of hustling and planning, construction is finally beginning on supportive housing for six disabled adults (including

St. John’s own Ezra Halkett) in St. Saviour’s former Parish House. Come celebrate and share refreshments.

 

Holy Eucharist is celebrated on Wednesdays at noon in the Chapel, in a simple, non-musical service.  We plan to commemorate saints and seasons using the church’s published calendar, as well as focusing on healing for ourselves and for the world.

 

Lectionary Readings: Tim and Kathleen will be leading a series of conversations based on the lectionary readings for the coming week – with perhaps some reflection back on the prior Sunday’s readings and sermon.  This is a great way to engage with scripture, and to prime our hearts and minds for what we will be sharing on Sunday.  No registration, come when you can, no book other than the Bible, no syllabus other than the Lectionary. Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30 in the Rectory Common Library.  

 

St. Mary & St. Jude:

Prayer Shawl Ministry, Thursdays at 10:00 a.m.
