Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Larisa Shaterian on the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, September 1, 2024. The readings for this day: Song of Solomon 2:8-13; Psalm 45:1-2, 7-10; James 1:17-27; Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23.
This week, the rector reflects on the “Season of Creation,” a commemoration during Pentecost we have started sharing with other Christian denominations around the world to look at how we care for God’s creation and our fellow creatures. Read this week’s newsletter to discover the many ways we will be exploring this theme, expressing our gratitude for God’s good Earth, and seeking to learn what we can do to protect it.
Due to illness, Wednesday’s Parish BBQ is postponed! New date TBD. Also, Wednesday evening, in the place of the 6:00 pm Holy Eucharist we will have Evening Prayer led by Br. Andrew. And this Sunday, we are delighted to welcome the Rev. Larisa Shaterian as our celebrant and preacher this week.
Please join us this Wednesday, August 28, for our last monthly Parish BBQ following the 6 pm Eucharist (so approximately 6:30 pm). We will grill in the back garden but eat in the front. The church provides items to grill, both meat and vegetarian; please bring your favorite picnic sides and desserts to share!

In this week’s newsletter, the associate rector, Father Ed, reflects on Sunday’s lessons (particularly Solomon’s dream and St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians) and what they may say for us and for our times.
Due to an illness the morning of August 11, the day’s scheduled preacher was unable to join us. So instead, Mother Liz shared a blog post from an Episcopal priest and ecologist living and working in his native Arkansas, and then followed with further questions for our consideration, which you can read here.
In this week’s newsletter, the rector reports on how the short-term transition into the Parish Hall for Sunday morning worship is going. As she says, these Sundays at 10 am in the Parish Hall create “a lovely, intimate and more informal service, and a great time to connect with each other.” Join us at 12 W. 11th Street!

This week, our 10 am Sunday service moves into the air-conditioned Parish Hall…which leads Mother Liz to reflect on the record-breaking temperatures both last year and now this year, and our stewardship (or lack thereof) of the natural world.
