 FROM THE RECTOR
I was pleased to see that so many people have signed up for the Adult Social this Saturday evening, hosted by the Lynch family. If you'd like to attend there is still time to sign up, but the clock is ticking! See below for more details.
Speaking of fellowship, this coming Thursday marks the kick-off for our summer Bible study called, "Four weeks with Phil." Philemon is the shortest of Paul's Epistles. In fact, it is the shortest Book in the entire New Testament, a mere twenty-five verses. This means that we can (hopefully) cover it in just four weeks. The letter to Philemon is a personal letter from Paul to Philemon, appealing for the freedom of a slave named Onesimus. In just twenty-five verses we'll cover such topics as Christian brotherhood, discrimination, stereotyping, transformation, grace, bravery, love and trust in the Providence of God. The study of God's Word is always time well spent, and I hope you'll join us. And as always, family and friends are welcome!
See you in Church,

PARISH WEBSITE - There are several important items on the website, including the Summer Server Schedule for ushers, acolytes, lay readers and chalice bearers. There are also updated audio sermons and photos from some past events, such as our visit to "Green Meadows Farm." The website, including the official parish calendar, is your one-stop-shop for news and events in the life of this parish. Even this newsletter is posted automatically each time it is published. Coming soon we will offer online "coffee hour sign up sheets," as well as our education curriculum and plans for the fall. Check back frequently and let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for the site. - Fr. Rodriguez .
"FOUR WEEKS WITH PHIL" - Starting Thursday, August 5th What does the Bible have to say about broken relationship? How do we challenge other Christians when they’ve wronged us? What does it mean to say we are brothers and sisters in Christ? We will cover these questions and more as we will meet in the Parish Hall from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm for a four week study of the New Testament Book of Philemon. This short study will begin with a Potluck Dinner and fellowship at 6:00 pm, followed by the study from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Nursery care will be provided. If you've never been to a Bible study before, this is a great opportunity to kick the tires with only a four week commitment. Please sign up at coffee hour or email me at
