Reflection for Summer
As we approach the summer season, our snowbirds will take their leave of us. I wish them safety as they travel. I also wish safety to all other parishioners traveling for vacation throughout the summer. During these months the church will plan for spiritual and social occasions for the remainder of 2026.
Our Sunday worships are 8 & 10 o’clock respectively every week. During my absence for my own vacation travels, three clergy persons will supply for the celebration of the Eucharist. Most of our activities for spiritual building are reduced until the fall. However, Vacation Bible School and the Young Adult bible study will commence. We will also celebrate the independence days of the U.S. A. and Jamaica as part of our worship experience.
The social programs from the Episcopal Church Women, Grace Episcopal Men, Youth and other community organizations have been announced. The summer will conclude with the parish picnic for all parishioners and friends. This too will be announced shortly.
I leave with you some thoughts about kindness from, Restoring Sanity, Practices, Creativity & Kindness in Our Ourselves and our Organizations. By Margaret J. Wheatley.
“Kindness too is an offering to others, a way of extending yourself that asks nothing in return. It is kind to be present. It is kind to be open and curious. It is kind to be respectful. It is a great kindness to keep our judgments, biases, and opinions to ourselves, to refrain from inserting them into the work or allowing them to distort our relationships. And we are being kind to ourselves when we commit to clearing our filters. Others benefit, but so do we - life gets much more enjoyable and easeful.”
Take care of yourselves and others. Let love be the answer for all we could ever do, think or imagine.
Canon Winston Wright.
