FORECAST IS PERFECT FOR HOLY COMMUNION IN OUR BACKYARD CHAPEL.
PICNIC NEXT WEEK (9-13) STILL PLANNED AFTER WORSHIP. BRING A DISH TO SHARE AND FRIENDS. 40% chance of rain as of now.

Power is finally back on. This is Washington Park (next door) where we've been having Evening Prayer and the Great Litany procession Sundays at 5. Debris is hiding behind debris. Gazebo was spared. Most of the city was like this yesterday after the storm.

We have reserved Shelter 1 at Presque Isle for Sunday, Oct. 11 for our Communion by the Fireside. It's an enclosed shelter with a fireplace. We have it from sunrise to sunset. Worship service at 2 PM, Picnic to follow—bring a dish to share. Another picnic, but I won't hide the real reason for this event: We will march over to the lakeshore for the Fraction and Communion, in keeping with the "Foe from the North" tradition (if you must do Canada jokes, get them out of your system here and not at the event!). It's why we face liturgical north at the reading of the Last Gospel every Eucharist. This is spiritual warfare. We will claim our county for Christ.

The following is AI generated. Since AI is demonic, it should know: "'the Foe from the North' or the 'Enemy from the North' tradition: In Judaeo-Christian tradition, 'the North' is not just a compass direction; it is a profound theological symbol of divine judgment, cosmic chaos, and the ultimate adversaries of God's people. The core dimensions of this tradition span geography, mythology, and end-times prophecy [....] The 'North' is heavily emphasized by major prophets as the staging ground for God's wrath against unfaithfulness [....] In the ancient Near East, the Hebrew word for north, Ṣāpôn (Zaphon), carried a dual meaning. In Canaanite mythology, Mount Zaphon was the sacred mountain where pagan gods like Baal held assembly. By incorporating the 'North' into prophecy, biblical writers layered historical threats with cosmic overtones. The enemy from the north represents not just human soldiers, but the forces of spiritual chaos and anti-God rebellion attempting to usurp the true mountain of God."

"We remain, I think, despite our ostensible belief in 'science and reason', fundamentally religious people in a religious time. We will always seek some greater meaning, some transcendent truth, and if we can't or won't find the real thing we will attempt to create it. This attempt is the story of modernity; the Machine is what we have created to fulfill it. When we forget the proper direction in which to aim our prayers, we will end up aiming them at the ultimate idol: our own image, reflected back at us in our little black screens. We will be kings and queens of a deceptively free world, parading through a liturgy of the self, wondering why the chaos seems to persist so close beneath the surface of this world."—Paul Kingsnorth, *Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity,* (2025), p. 134.
