There will be so much to celebrate on May 25. During the 9:30 am service, we’ll witness the joyful Holy Union of Liz Shaw Powell and Don Rooks. Please stay for coffee hour afterward, when we’ll enjoy cake and a special celebration for Liz and Don.

May 25 is also “Service Sunday.” On the 4th Sunday of each month, 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. Immediately after coffee hour, 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 and a peace and reconciliation day all in one. Now that’s something to celebrate!

The Grace Pastoral Care team is seeking your input! If you are a caregiver, or have experienced loss, we invite you to complete a short survey. Your feedback will guide us in creating more effective support services for our parish. The survey should take only a few minutes, and your responses will remain anonymous. Thank you for helping us make a difference.
