Sometimes we need to just 'Be' ...

Be

In moments of powerlessness, we focus so much on what we should do, that we often forget about what we should be. What if every time you asked God what you should do, you also asked God how you should be? What if instead of focusing on actions in times of powerlessness, you focused on states of being, like being patient, being charitable, being forgiving, or even being joyful?

Br. Jack Crowley, Society of St. John the Evangelist

The person of the day today is Florence Nightingale, who was called "The Lady with the Lamp" by the wounded she attended to. She is thought of throughout the world as the founder of nursing. We honor her today along with all others who've been called into the field of nursing, healing and caring for the sick, suffering and dying.

Collect
"O God, who gave grace to your servant Florence Nightingale to bear your healing love into the shadow of death: Grant to all who heal the same virtues of patience, mercy, and steadfast love, that your saving health may be revealed to all; through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."

August 6 -- The Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today's Colllect:

O God, who on the holy mount revealed to chosen witnesses your well-beloved Son, wonderfully transfigured, in raiment white and glistening: Mercifully grant that we, being delivered from the disquietude of this world, may by faith behold the King in his beauty; who with you, O Father, and you, Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

By Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430-1516)

This Sunday we will be focusing on Matthew's version of the loaves and fishes story (Matthew 14:13-21). This miracle is part of the story of our faith lives and personal lives. Please share an experience in which God provided for you when you least expected it.

One of our favorite outdoor services is "Mass on the Grass." This year we got to worship God's glory in the hills, amongst the trees.

Thanksgiving for the Beauty of the Earth --

We give you thanks, most gracious God, for the beauty of earth and sky and sea; for the richness of mountains, plains, and rivers; for the songs of birds and the loveliness of flowers. We praise you for these good gifts, and pray that we may safeguard them for our posterity. Grant that we may continue to grow in our grateful enjoyment of your abundant creation, to the honor and glory of your Name, now and for ever. Amen.

Last Sunday we welcomed The Rev'd Canon Chris Craun to be our preacher. She shared with us a quote from Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower" -- "All that you touch is Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change." This resonated with this parish given a coming year of transitions for St. Bede's. And what better way to usher in change than with the fellowship and delicious gifts of an Ice Cream Social!

What a wonderful St. Bede's Feast Day service on June 7, with four confirmations and a visit from Bishop Akiyama. We took part in a celebration of affirmation of faith, a recommitment to our baptismal vows, and a joyous walk through our glorious garden that provides for so many in our community. ✝️

"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.

--Anglican Priest John Wesley (1703-1791)

Today we celebrate our church's namesake, St. Bede the Venerable. What a blessing and joy to have had the Bishop of Western Oregon, Bishop Akiyama, here with us to preside, preach and administer four confirmations during our celebration of St. Bede.

✝️ The Prayer of St. Bede ✝️

I pray you, good Jesus, that as you
have given me the grace to drink
in with joy the word that gives
knowledge of you, so in your
goodness you will grant me to
come at length to yourself, the
source of all wisdom, to stand
before your face forever. Amen.
