On the 4th Sunday of each month, “Service Sunday,” we highlight an outreach ministry that Grace supports. This month we will be celebrating the Gifts of Dirt Garden, which Grace started four years ago to grow produce for Helpline House. After the 9:30 service on May 25 you are invited to come to the garden for a dedication and blessing of this amazing ministry.
We will also be celebrating Rogation Sunday. Anglicans in old England traditionally set this time aside to ask God for help and a blessing over their crops. Parishioners gathered and walked along the parish boundaries. Stopping at landmarks, the priest read from the Gospel and asked for God’s blessing on the crops. Rogation Day became a time for farmers to settle any boundary disputes and to resolve other interpersonal conflicts. Peace and love toward neighbors and showing mercy and justice to the poor was promoted. Over the years, Rogation Day has blossomed from a day to ask for God’s help and blessing over the fields to include celebrating the onset of spring. A Peace & Reconciliation Day all in one. Now that’s something to celebrate!
