From the Vicar’s Desk

(An excerpt from Fr. Jerry’s  message in the St. Paul’s June newsletter)Time is such a funny thing.  This pandemic has made everything seem so much more cumbersome and slow moving.  At the same time, I can’t believe nearly half the year is over already!  I do feel infused with new HOPE as restrictions loosen and we all feel a long-awaited movement toward normalcy.  We’re singing in church again, since nearly all of us have been fully vaccinated.  As I write this I’m beginning to plan for our first outdoor service on June 6th.  It will be a relief to celebrate “maskless” once again!  WE will not have the usual pot luck picnic after the service, but we will have an outdoor “coffee hour”.

It’s the season for Graduations so I share with you this “Graduation Collect”:

Precious Father, we pray especially for our teenagers and young adults at this time of school graduations; where they are lost, find them; when they are afraid, bring them comfort and love; and where they are confused, show them Your will.  Protect them, Father, and be with parents as they ride the roller-coaster of these years with their children.  May they have the courage, the strength, the wisdom through your Holy Spirit to help guide them and in many cases just to hold on, and to be there as their children take on adult responsibilities in a chaotic, sinful world.  We now place them under Your loving wings.  Amen.

A Prayer for Our Community

This prayer is from the Center for Action and Contemplation

Loving God, you fill all things with a fullness and hope that we can never comprehend. Thank you for leading us into a time where more of reality is being unveiled for us all to see. We pray that you will take away our natural temptation for cynicism, denial, fear and despair. Help us have the courage to awaken to greater truth, greater humility, and greater care for one another. May we place our hope in what matters and what lasts, trusting in your eternal presence and love. Listen to our hearts’ longings for the healing of our suffering world. Please add your own intentions . . . Knowing, good God, you are hearing us better than we are speaking, we offer these prayers in all the holy names of God. Amen.
