July 23rd.
I’m preparing for our Wednesday Eucharist, one of the highlights of my week. We have a small but fiercely faithful group of from 4 to 10 people, mostly not Grace parishioners, who come to this quiet worship time each week. Today we’ll be celebrating St. Mary Magdalene.
The weather this summer has been consistently hot and humid. The building, being made of stone, stays cool well into the summer, but once it heats up, watch out! We hand out “air conditioners” (folding paper fans) to those who join us for worship, but still…….
Last Sunday we had a wonderful parish picnic in Little Compton. In addition to great food, we had a snow cone maker, plus croquet, bocce, and horseshoes. The weather was overcast and humid, but cooler than in the city.
I’m preparing for the Pan Mass Challenge, a charity ride benefitting the Dana Farber Cancer Institiute in Boston, which will happen the first weekend in August. We’ll ride a total of 190 miles over two days. To find out more, or to sponsor me, go to www.pmc.org
I’ll be on vacation during August, mostly in Little Compton with a few days in Vermont visiting family. I look forward to seeing all of you soon.
Peace and love-
Bob
