At St. John's

Westside Food Pantry Recital
Islesford native, pianist, Christina Spurling joins violinist Yi-Li Change for a performance of sonatas for piano and violin by Beethoven, Debussy and Brahms.  Last summer, Christina performed with three volalists. Their performance is Saturday, August 26 at 7:00. Suggested donation for the performance is $10--ALL proceeds go to the food pantry.

Meditation on Tuesdays at 4:00. 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.
 

From the Diocese of Maine{Diocese of Maine}

As a Parish of the Diocese of Maine, we are part of a church family that extends from Kittery to Fort Kent, and connects us to the rest of the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion.  We share ministry with our Bishop and with every worshipping community.
If you are not subscribed to the Diocesan twice monthly email newsletter, the DioLog, please click [here] to subscribe.  If you are subscribed, don't forget to open it and read it every time!  There is a lot going on in every corner of the Diocese, and you wouldn't want to miss anything!
 
 

at St. Saviour:

Summer Organ Series will be held on Fridays in August from 12:15-1:00.  The church features a 27-rank Visser-Rowland tracker organ which is used in worship services each week as well as to support community choral and instrumental performances. The final concert will be on August 25 with Julia Morris-Myers.

The Summer Organ Series is made possible by the generous support of St. Saviour's Friends of Music. Admission to the recitals is by donation and a reception will follow to meet the artists. The church is handicap-accessible. For more information please call the church at 207-288-4215 or visit our website: StSaviours.me.

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.

Adult Education with Jean Evans Scheduled for September

Each Wednesday in September from 7-8:15pm Jean Evans will lead a study, "Bible Basics," which will focus on an overview of the Old and New Testament and take a closer look at how Bible stories relate to our lives today.  All are welcome! Please join us!

Jean has a long history in Christian Education, most recently serving as Director of Christian Education at Trinity United Methodist Church in Gainesville, Florida. Jean, her husband, David, and their two sons have been coming to Mt. Desert Island for forty years.  Carrying on the family tradition, Drew, Matt, and their families return each year to enjoy the natural beauty of MDI.

The Evans have been part of the Church of Our Father congregation for the past thirty summers. For more than ten years, Jean has participated in a Bible study on MDI that she is now leading.  She loves meeting and studying with others who are interested in learning and growing in the faith we all share.
