The link for this week's live-streamed service is here.
The past week has been a busy one at SPPC. We began with holy communion last Sunday, and a return to passing the elements among the congregation. One more step in our return to "normal."
On Wednesday morning the Bible Study group watched the first half of the movie, "Ben-Hur." It's an oldie but has stood up remarkably well considering the developments in video technology since 1959. We'll watch the last half this Wednesday. Feel free to come along at 10:00 am to enjoy the film and discussion.
Friendship Coffee met on Thursday morning. There were a couple of special guests from the Ukraine. As war drags on in that country our hearts ache for the suffering of the people there. We pray for an end to violence and, on Thursday, accepted monetary gifts as well.
Thursday evening the choir held their last rehearsal before the summer break and then adjourned for a choir dinner at Mary's Bleue Moon Restaurant. It was a noisy affair, but everyone was well fed.
Congratulations to Peter. Once again, he is a provincial champion, this time in baseball.
After the pandemic shut-down, it lifts the spirits to see sports and social events returning to the calendar. We also rejoice that our church has been able to hold in-person services these last few months--and to have many visitors coming to the door.
Last night I looked out at a perfect crescent moon hanging low over Bazan Bay while the last purple streaks of the sunset limned the islands. I caught my breath at the beauty of God's handiwork. Amid the horrors and distresses appearing daily on our news screens, let us never forget to give thanks For the Beauty of the Earth.
Happy Summer!
