Rev. Don's Poetry Share

Perceptive Prayer

by Grace Bauer

The beauty of summer nights

is how they go on—

light lingering so long we can

imagine ourselves immortal.

For moments at a time.

And winter days—

their own kind of beauty.

Any swatch of color:

hint of leaf bud, sway of

dried brown grass, even litter—

a bright yellow bag

light enough for the breeze

to lift and carry,

can render itself as pleasure

to an eye immersed in gray.

May we learn to love

what is both

ordinary and extra.

May our attention be

a kind of praise.

A worship of the all

there really is.

Farewell Service for Rev. Don

BLESSING BOX & FOOD PANTRY DONATIONS

The holidays are almost upon us, and food insecurity is higher than ever. Over the next month we will be collecting donations for our Blessing Box and the Plainville Community Food Pantry on Sunday mornings and at the Snowflake Fair.

As you do your weekly shopping, please prayerfully consider adding a few extra items for our collection. Keep an eye out for your favorite stores’ BOGO, can-can and holiday savings specials. Donations for the Blessing Box can be placed in the box at the back entrance; Food Pantry items can go in the basket in the Narthex. Thank you for your continued support of this important mission.
