This Week at Old South Haven Church

A note from Pastor Tom

Upon my return home after our Church Picnic last Sunday I received two e mails from friends speaking about the mass shooting at a Orlando Florida Nightclub. I quickly turned on the TV and received the horrible details. The next day our Presbyterian Church (USA) released a prayer, one paragraph of which I am including in this weekly e mail.

"God of life, whose presence sustains us in every circumstance,

As the sound of gunfire echoes across Orlando

we seek the grounding power of your love and compassion.

We open our hearts in anger, sorrow and hope:

For those who have been lost: brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends

Your children, enjoying an evening of music and friendship,

Whose lives were ended or maimed in a hail of hatred and gunfire.

We pray for those who have been spared and those whose lives are changed forever

that they may find solace, sustenance, and strength in the hard days to come.

.......

open our eyes, break our hearts,

and turn our hands to the movements of your Spirit,

that our anger and sorrow may unite in service to build a reign of peace,

where the lion and the lamb may dwell together,

and terror no longer hold sway over our common life.

In the name of Christ, our healer and our Light, we pray. Amen

Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Laurie Ann Kraus

A note: On Tuesday, May 17 The Carriage House was entered and AA lockers were damaged and the door of the church office was damaged. Nothing was taken. It is obvious that the person or persons was looking for money on the property. There was damage to the lockers and to the door of the church office was damaged. Repairs are being made.We are thankful to the Tuesday meeting of AA for their cooperation. Pastor Tom invited the group to meet in the Sanctuary and many expressed appreciation to the Church for this gesture. Richard Thomas made some immediate repairs so that the ongoing program, taking place each day in the Carriage House would continue.
