At St. John's
Advent Book Study: Let Every Heart Prepare
For centuries the words and poetry of our hymns have spoken deeply to us. Many people find that what is heard in poetry and music sinks deeper into the soul than does ordinary prose. And so it is to the beautiful seasonal hymns that the Reverend Barbara Cawthorne Crafton turns for inspiration for daily meditations on faith, prayer, forgiveness, and healing during Advent and Christmas. All four Episcopal Parishes will be reading this book, and we'll be joining in worship and study at 4:30 on Wednesdays: December 6 at Church of our Father; December 13 at St. John's; and December 20 at St. Saviour's. The books is available from Amazon.com for $10.
Pastoral Care and Prayer Team Gathering Upcoming! Please stay tuned for details.
Ingathering of Pledges on Christ the King Sunday, November 26—the last Sunday of the Church year. Please join us in celebration, promise, and hope as we mark this day, our accomplishments, and look forward to Advent!
Meditation on Tuesdays 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.

As in years past, the Bar Harbor Congregational Church is putting together Thanksgiving Food Baskets for MDI, and the Westside Food Pantry will serve as the distribution agent for the west side of MDI, as well as supply the meat for those baskets. This event requires some extra help before Thanksgiving. Here's how you can help:
Monday, November 20, 12 Noon, pick up Thanksgiving Baskets at BHCC—Vehicles are needed to travel to Bar Harbor and pick-up the baskets for the west side, vehicles loaded, and return to the Fire Station in SWH to be unloaded. Time required: about 1.5 hours. This year we will have vehicle loaders and unloaders. So, if you are unable to lift and carry the baskets, we will have help. Please reply to Dean Henry, (dean_henry27@gmail.com) or 664-8615 with the type vehicle you can supply.
Tuesday, November 21, 10 AM to 12 Noon, help distribute the Thanksgiving Baskets—
This work involves sorting and distributing the baskets to neighbors on Tuesday from the SWH Fire Station.
