In 2009, the Episcopal Church provisionally adopted the commemoration of Cornelius Hill. He lived from 1843-1907. Hill was ordained to diaconate 27 June 1895, and to priesthood in 1903. He was the last of the old Oneida chiefs in Wisconsin. Having been an “interpreter” for Episcopal services, he was ordained by Bishop Grafton. His wisdom and sanctity are still revered by the Oneida.
Let us pray: Everliving Lord, our loving God, you raised up your priest Cornelius Hill, last hereditary chief of the Oneida nation, to shepherd and defend his people against attempts to scatter them in the wilderness: Help us, like him, to be dedicated to truth and honor, that we may come to that blessed state you have prepared for us; through Jesus Christ, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
The Bishop's Committee had a productive meeting yesterday:
(1) We started planning for St. Augustine's Day this year. The consensus of the Committee was to do a pot luck meal and to have a dance.
(2) The Committee also discussed window coverings for Sutton Hall, and after reviewing samples, it was decided to get an estimate on wooden blinds that would match the overhead ceiling beam.
(3) The ECW will meet in the old parish hall which will be renamed THE CAIN PARLOR.
CALENDAR REMINDERS
8 July 2011 at St. Augustine’s Sutton Hall from noon to 3 p.m. S.A.S.S. will host “A 2011 Update: The Latest Info about HIV/AIDS” with Paul Simmons, RN, ACRN, the Executive Director of Center for AIDS Houston. Lunch will be provided free of cost, and the seminar is free of cost as well. Reserve your spot today at galvestonsass@gmail.com.
Please remember everyone on our prayer list, especially Evelyn McNeill who went into surgery this morning.
