BIG SHOUT OUT THANK YOU TO TERRY SHEEHAN AND DAN DELONG FOR PULLING THE

CONNECTING THE DOTS ON DAVID:
As noted in last weeks TidBits, the lectionary skips many parts of the story in I & II Samuel. This week we
will hear II Samuel, 6:1-19. Should you wish to follow the story, between now and next week, please read II
Samuel, 6:20-23. On Sundays, for the foreseeable future (except morning prayer Sundays), I will make myself
available in the Sanctuary beginning at 9:15 should you have questions or wish to discuss the passages you
have read.
SUNDAY SCHOOL PARENTS MEETING
On Wednesday July 15 at 7 pm all Sunday school parents are invited to attend a short meeting/discussion
in the Sanctuary. We want your input and ideas. Please RSVP Barbara Clark at 669-2384.
CONVENTION DELEGATES NEEDED:
Delegates needed for the 2015 Convention of the Diocese of Maine. Due to our growth as a parish, we now
may have three (instead of two) delegates to the annual convention. At our annual meeting in February, we
elected two delegates and one alternateunaware that we would need three delegates and one alternate.
Unfortunately one of our originally elected delegates is unable to attend the convention. We now need one
additional delegate and an alternate. Interested in being a delegate? Interested in learning how the Episcopal
Church functions (or occasionally doesnt)? Do you have questions? Please call me, Dave Wells, at 667-6206.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
As requested, Prayer Request Cards are now on hooks in the pews, as well as on the table at the back of the
nave.

Have a special event, birthday, anniversary or graduation you wish to mark? The Altar Flower sign-up sheet
is located on the table in the Narthex.
