Dear Parishioners and Friends,
“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons
.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
St. Mary’s has always been a community church. We are the spiritual home to those who are regular Sunday attendees as well as those who only come for weddings and funerals. The impact we have on our home and the world is tremendous. Often, though, the work goes on quietly and without a lot of fanfare. I think this is the way our Lord would want it. But with that quietness, the need can be overlooked. As Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”
What gifts do you have through the Spirit of God? Nothing offered in his name is small. Whether you are called to serve on the Vestry, or the Altar Guild, or as an Usher, or Lector, or Acolyte, all work together for the building up of God’s kingdom.
Right now, we are in especial need of lectors, acolytes, and ushers. These roles are vital to our hospitality and worship, yet require minimal commitment and training. Please
let me know
if you feel called to one of these important ministries.
Blessings, Father Rick

Hurricane Dorian slammed into the northern Bahamas as a Category 5 storm, devastating Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands with torrential winds, rains and a storm surge of up to 25 feet. More than 70,000 were affected and the full extent of the destruction is yet to be determined.
Working through the Anglican Alliance, Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD) is providing support as the Anglican Diocese of the Bahamas & the Turks and Caicos conducts needs assessments of the island communities. Led by the Rt. Rev. Laish Z. Boyd, diocesan staff and clergy, many of whom themselves have been impacted by the storm, are working to identify unmet needs of the most vulnerable communities. It is in these gaps that the Church can play a unique role, both in immediate relief and in long-term recovery.
The Outreach Committee will be making a donation to ERD and will forward your donations as well. Please consider
making an outreach donation
and designate the Hurricane Relief fund.

Walk to End Alzheimer's October 20th
|
Join our team "Chris’ Crew" with Captain Sally Sonne. Participate in a 2-mile (not very difficult) Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sunday, October 20, in Rockland County. We hope that you will join the team by walking or donating.
A cure is on the horizon, and, hopefully, will be discovered before we or our children are stricken. Alzheimer’s is truly a sad and devastating condition for the patient and for family and friends. Sally knows that Chris would want to do anything he could to end Alzheimer’s. For her, this walk is to honor him and give hope and help for a cure.
Registration begins at 9am, with a ceremony at 10am and the walk at 10:20am. Location is Palisades Credit Union Park Stadium (Rockland Boulders), Rockland/Pomona, NY.
