A message from Lyn
Prayers for our nation on this Independence Day
Lord God Almighty, in whose Name the founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for nations then unborn: Grant that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. –From the Book of Common Prayer, p. 242
Almighty God, giver of all good things: We thank you for the natural majesty and beauty of this land. They restore us, though we often destroy them. Heal us.
We thank you for the great resources of this nation. They mke us rich, though we often exploit them. Forgive us.
We thank for those who have made this country strong. They are models for us, though we often fall short of them. Inspire us.
We thank your for the torch of liberty which has been lit in this land. It has drawn people from every nation, though we have often hidden from its light. Enlighten us.
We thank you for the faith we have inherited in all its rich variety. It sustains our life, though we have been faithless again and again. Renew us.
Help us, O Lord, to finish the good work here begun. Strengthen our efforts to blot out ignorance and prejudice, and to abolish poverty and crime. And hasten the day when all our people, with many voices in one united chorus, will glorify your holy Name. Amen. –From the Book of Common Prayer, p. 838
God bless you all this holiday weekend. And God bless America.

Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
Pentecost
Dear Friends,
I hope some of you have been able to use the "Praying until Pentecost" resource I emailed earlier in the week, and that it has enriched your prayer life.
Our very own St. Mark's Cathedral is posting online worship resources, including a sung Compline, which you can find here. Also, you can join the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at Washington National Cathedral. The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde will be presiding and the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry will preach. The live webcast for online worship begins at 11:15 a.m. EDT, 9:15 a.m. MDT.
Finally, here is my video message to you for Pentecost this Sunday. Have a wonderful weekend!

Seventh Sunday of Easter
Alleluia! Christ is Risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Dear Friends,
Lyn invited me to prepare a short video message (see below) for this Sunday while she is away. I appreciate the opportunity!
The lectionary readings for Sunday, May 24 can be found here.
One of the themes in this week's gospel lesson is the importance of nurturing a relationship with God through prayer. Daily Prayer for All Seasons is a resource that might enrich your personal or family prayer time. I particularly like the Compline devotional on pages 116-117. See if there is something that speaks to you.
Finally, for anyone interested in watching an online Holy Eucharist on Sunday, Trinity Church Wall Street streams their service here at 11:15 a.m. Eastern Time, 9:15 a.m. Mountain Time.
I miss seeing all of you each week and hope you are healthy, happy, and safe. I look forward to when we can worship together again and will pray that it comes soon!

Holy Week at Home
April 5 – 11, 2020
I really wish we could be together as we walk the journey of Jesus' last days on earth! Here are resources for you and those with whom you live to use for praying together during Holy Week. In this Holy Week at Home Booklet, I have included the photos taken last year of the sanctuary on each day during Holy Week to remind us of the beauty of our worship. Also, here are past sermons for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the The Paschal Homily of Saint John Chrysostom to be said along with the Great Vigil of Easter on Saturday night, and Easter Morning. Christ is Risen!
Scott Rowley has provided us with videos for Palm Sunday of "All Glory, Laud and Honor" and "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" with Max Moreno, baritone.
Additionally, there are many online services to watch from home including those from The Cathedral of St. Mark in Salt Lake City and Washigton National Cathedral – daily morning and evening prayer as well as Sunday Eucharist.
God of presence and strength, Help us feel you here with us when we are anxious and afraid, when the future feels unwieldy and uncertain. We know nothing is unknown to you, O God, and we know you are our rock and our comfort in times of trouble. Give us wisdom and courage to make changes that will help things get better. Amen.
Palm Sunday Remote Worship
Lent V Remote Worship
Friends --- Here is the service of Prayer for Sunday, March 29th.
Lent IV Remote Worship
My friends, since we cannot gather together, I invite us to unite our hearts in worship at home. Here is the Prayer service for March 22nd, which includes the readings appointed for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, and prayers specific to our time. The "sermon" is a interpretation of the gospel lesson, which we'd planned on offering as a dramatic reading at church.
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15: 5-6
God bless us all. Lyn
