Interested in helping maintain the building?
All welcome!! No experience needed
Make sure you come to church this Sunday to welcome Ken Gray our new Dean!
GETTING TO KNOW DEAN KEN -
As a person who has lived with Albinism since birth Ken experiences both challenges and opportunities. On the challenge side, he has difficulty recognizing folks, even those he has just met, out of context. So if you meet him at the grocery store it is very helpful to say “Hi, I’m Claire, your office administrator . . .” On the delight side you may enjoy his photography which can be viewed at http://grayintheforest.
His photographic motto is “We see what others miss.” Enjoy.
Did you pick up a bowl by mistake on Sunday? Gywn Lamperson are missing a medium sized cut glass bowl with a scalloped edge. It is part of fruit bowl set and is missed. Can you take a look and if you have it bring it back to the office.

Week 4
Monday August 1 to Saturday August 6
THE CLIMATE IS NOW: Climate Science and Christian Wellness
with Ken Gray and Geoff Strong
Pope Francis, Anglican bishops, Naomi Klein and, increasingly, the shopkeeper, musician and indigenous elder all agree that more than ever we must prepare for a new world with a greatly changed climate.
We must do all we can to mitigate the effects of fossil fuel emissions and adapt our economic and environmental practices, right now!
In this two-tiered course we will develop and share answers to three questions: What in the world is going on? Why is it happening? What in the world can individuals do about it right now!
We will explore climate change and environmental justice from perspectives of both science and scripture as a prelude to action.
We will then share resources and strategies for speech and action in parishes, dioceses and communities. For this special symposium we aim to gather lay and clergy leaders, whether experienced or new, to climate justice advocacy and creation care.
Come prepared to learn, to laugh, to struggle, and to find hope in what will be a very special community.
Course fee: $260
