This Sunday is Service SundayThere's still time to donate to our May Outreach project! Aloha. Last August, our Grace Community sent a donation to Holy Innocents Episcopal Church in Lahaina, and we began a conversation. The church had just been destroyed in the fires that consumed the area, and hundreds lost their possessions and became homeless. A Cup of Cold Water is a community organization that uses donations for the temporary lodgings of disaster survivors (ironically, this organization was begun in 2014 by members of Holy Innocents). During the month of May, we will be collecting items which were requested by this organization. We will assemble the donations on Service Sunday, June 2. Please put your new and gently-used items in the baskets in the Narthex: • Men’s T-shirts (preferably black, all sizes) Mahalo (thank you!) |

EVERYONE is welcome!Friday, June 7 at 4pm on Zoom A Conversation led by Shannon Moore, MD MPH FAAHPM The journey toward death need not be a medicalized one. Yet, with all the advancements in medicine these days, how can you assess when you or a loved one are in those “last days and hours” of life? In this phase of life, it is often more graceful to “listen” to the body’s wisdom, rather than soldier on toward the next treatment. Many of us have been or will be caregivers. Understanding the body’s natural trajectory, “fearfully and wonderfully made,” may help guide us in these challenging times. Bring your questions and your own wisdom to share as we gather to discuss our lives and our deaths. Shannon will start the conversation with an overview of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual changes commonly seen, and then open the meeting for questions and sharing. You do not need to be a caregiver to attend. For questions, contact Florrie Munat. For more infomation visit: https://www.gracehere.org/events/open-mic-for-caregivers--48/2024-06-07

The book may be purchased here, and some copies will be available at the June 16 event. Coffee Hour will feature tastes of Ethiopian food (as well as the usual array of sweets and savories), which can be taken into the sanctuary for Dennis and Beulah’s presentation, including readings from his memoir and ample time for Q & A.

Community Events
Contemplative Prayer Event at St. Antony’s in Silverdale, June 9th from 11:30 am – 12:30 p.m. Our guest speaker will be The Rev. Paul Rietmann, a retired Episcopal Priest from the Olympia Diocese. We will meet in our sanctuary after worship concludes. As Christians, we are invited to abide in the presence of God — to quiet ourselves and connect with Divine presence within — and it is often so hard to do! Rev. Paul is inspired by eastern practices. He will talk about the history of Christian contemplative prayer and introduce several practices to enrich our faith experience. We would love to have you join us. All are welcome, and there is no cost to attend. St. Antony’s hosts a New Beginnings Contemplative Prayer group on the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 12:00 – 1:00 pm.
