Message from the Very Rev. Pamela from July 3, 2026:
Dear Ones,
Tomorrow is the 4th of July, a day when we typically celebrate the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States. I don’t think I need to add a lot of words to the torrent of reflections about the current state of our country, our democracy, and the world.
Instead, I would ask that we take some time during this long weekend to pray. Come to church to pray, certainly! But also pray at home, by yourself or with others. Your prayers don’t have to be wordy. Just find a quiet moment to pause and recognize both the many gifts we’ve been given and the long road still ahead of us before we can truly proclaim “liberty and justice for all” a reality. It isn’t, not yet. But with God’s help, we can work together to create a more just and loving world, starting right here at home.
In the words of The Book of Common Prayer, let’s ask God to “give to the people of our country a zeal for justice and the strength of forbearance.” Zeal and strength, justice and forbearance: these are gifts that will endure and move us forward, into whatever the future may hold.
Blessings,
Pamela+
