Evening of the Fourth

                                       Romans 8:28

all things work 

together for good 

for those who love God

Independence Day

                         Collect for Independence Day

give to the  

people of 

our county 

a zeal for 

justice & the

strength of

forbearance,  

that we may 

use our liberty in 

accordance with your gracious will

The first Sunday in July

                   Collect of the Day

O God, you have taught us to keep 

all your commandments 

by loving you & our neighbor: 

Grant us the grace of your 

Holy Spirit that we may be 

devoted to you with our 

whole heart, and united 

to one another with 

pure affection… 

        

Saturday Evening Prayer

                                       Psalm 104:20, 25a

You 

apoin-ted  

the moon to 

mark the 

seasons, 

& the sun knows the time of its setting. Oh Lord, how manifold are all your works! In wisdom you have 

made them all 

Saturday July 2

                                   The Saturday antiphon

                                          on Canticle 12, A 

                                          Song of Creation

God 

saw

every-

thing 

he had made, 

and behold, it was very good.

Friday evening

                                                                 Romans 8: 14,15

… all who are 

led by the 

Spirit of God 

are children of 

God.  For you 

did not receive 

a spirit of  

slavery to fall 

back into fear, 

but you have  received a spirit of adoption 

At the beginning of this Fourth of July Week-end we remember Harriet Beecher Stowe, Author, Abolitionist and Prophetic Witness, 1811-1896 - how far we have come along the road to racial justice and what a long way we have to go!

                                                Psalm 142:3 

When 
  my spirit   
      languishes    
         within me,
                you know my path

Help us, 

like her, 

to strive 

for your 

justice -
