Hey Everyone!
Happy Thursday! I hope you’re all well and looking forward to the weekend ahead. We’ve had a busy week at the Trail Hiker Center and it looks like it’s only going to get busier. We’re still looking for a few folks to fill some open shifts in the center. Come by Darley Hall or text Jason for current gaps in the host schedule.
If you haven’t joined us for our Hiker Vespers (Evening Prayer), you’ve still got four more opportunities. Utilizing the chants of Taizé, this reflective gathering offers sung prayers, read scriptures, and silence. Hiker Vespers are held in the Trail Hiker Center on Saturdays at 8:00pm.
This Sunday, August 4th, we’ll gather for the morning worship service at 10:00am in the church yard. During the service this week, we’ll be exploring the popular hymn I Surrender All, as we also consider what it means to give God our time. As usual, you can find the Zoom links and the order of worship below.
Then, on Sunday night, August 4th, at 5:30pm, we’ll gather at the Trail Hiker Center for our 5th Hiker Meal of the summer. The theme for this week is–”World Kitchen.” While we’ll be serving Butter Chicken over Basmati Rice, you can bring whatever you want. Italian, Mexican, Polish, Greek, African, European, Asian… the choice is yours. So break out your best international fare and join us for a night to remember.
We will be having games on Monday night at 7:00pm this week, but we will NOT be holding our Wednesday night Bible Study this week. We’ll return to our weekly study of Christian denominations on Wednesday, August 14th at 5:00pm. If you missed any of the previous weeks of this study, you can catch up on our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJJFivqedFTzNeEfPpDCoXg
Last, but hardly least, our very own summer resident Jim Walker is offering God his talents as he portrays the Apostle Peter in a one-man show that the critics are hailing as, “Walker’s best performance yet!” Peter the Rock will be performed at Mary Stigall Theater, on Saturday, August 10th at 7:30pm. Through humor and drama, Walker thoughtfully presents the apostle’s strengths and weaknesses. We see Peter “the Rock” as an ordinary man who ultimately gives us hope that God can also use us all for His Kingdom.
That’s it for the announcements this week. Here are your links and stuff.
