A Month of Maintenance Work for Our Home at Grove & Meadow
This report was submitted back in June from Donna and the Building and Grounds Committee. Since it was a large and costly project, we thought for those of you who may have missed it the first time around, we would bring it back to the top of the posts so you can have a chance to read it again.
It’s been an exciting month of activity around our buildings for the month of May and into early June. You may not notice unless you look hard or unless you are spending time in the choir area or Blue Room! The members of the Building & Grounds Committee thought you would like to see just how hard folks have been working for needed repairs and renovations, thanks to our partnerships with local experts. Old World Masonry Restoration, Vassars Services and Jeter Flooring all did an excellent job for us!
To read the full report which includes pictures of the project, click here.
Many thanks to Vincent, Donna and the Building & Grounds Committee.

Litany For Government
There were requests from the online chat from the livestream to put the reading from the worship service on July 3, 2022, on the website. Here is the reading. The writer and credit for the Litany goes to Fran Pratt.
God, we seek your wisdom for how to live today, in this time and place.
We ask help from you:
To remember that we are citizens of heaven first and foremost (1) – Help us, oh God; To live with integrity and fidelity to Christ even while under human government – Help us, oh God;To practice peace and resurrection in our every action (2) – Help us, oh God; To exercise our rights and privileges on behalf of the vulnerable – We need the mind of Christ.
We lift up those human leaders in authority, that they may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly (3); That they may overcome self-interest with self sacrifice; That they may listen to the voices of the people they serve; That they may have vision for good for all, beyond partisan goals and nationalism; That they may resist temptation to wield their power for personal gain; That they may may resist tyranny, totalitarianism, and autocracy within their ranks; That they may speak truth, and uphold it (4); That they may hold fast to laws which foster justice, and root out those that discriminate against the weak; That they may seek peace and pursue it (4); That they may work for equality and benefit for all races, all genders, all religious and cultural expressions; That they may champion the beauty of humanity from cradle to grave; That they may regard kindness and cooperation as strengths; That they may lead with humility, morality, compassion, and creativity. Let everything that is hidden come to light – The light that is Christ. (5) And let all people live in the authority of the Kingdom of Heaven, under the law of Love. Amen.
- Philippians 3:20
- “Practice resurrection” is a line in Wendell Berry’s famous poem, “The Mad Farmer Liberation Front”
- Micah 6:8
- Psalm 34:14
