Holding the Center: A Faithful Response to Polarization & Radicalization
Tuesday, June 16 | 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
We live in a time when false and misleading information spreads faster than ever — dividing
communities, eroding trust, and making it harder to act on our shared commitment to truth. As people
of faith, we are uniquely positioned to help our congregations think carefully about what they hear,
read, and share.
Clergy and lay leaders are invited to join us for a free workshop, led by Sarah Sampas, exploring the roots of disinformation, its social and spiritual effects, and practical tools for countering it in your congregation and community.
This workshop is offered free of charge, with lunch provided, made possible by a grant from the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan.
To register, please email Sarah Sampas at sampas.sarahe@gmail.com.

Upcoming Events
One Faith, Many Voices
Thursdays, May 21, May 28, and June 4 | 5:30 to 6:30 pm | Chapel
Christianity in the United States is both remarkably diverse and increasingly divided. From theology and
worship styles to politics and cultural engagement, Christians today often find themselves experiencing
the faith in very different, and sometimes conflicting, ways. Join me for a three-week series as we
explore the complexity of contemporary Christianity in America. Together, we will look at how we got
here, what is shaping the current landscape, and how we might faithfully navigate these differences as
followers of Jesus. Please RSVP to Fr. Paul at
pfrolick@standrewsaa.org.
Loaves and Phishes: Keeping Yourself Safe from Online Scams
Sunday, June 7 | 11:30 am | Chapel
Join parishioner Ally Norris for a practical, accessible session on recognizing and avoiding common
online scams. From phishing emails and fake texts to impersonation and “urgent” requests for money, Ally
will walk us through real-life examples and simple strategies to stay safe. You’ll leave with clear,
common-sense guidelines—like slowing down, verifying independently, and knowing the red flags—that can
help protect you and those you love.
Caregivers’ Luncheon
Tuesday, June 9 | 12 noon in the Lounge
If you are caring for a spouse, parent, child, or friend, you know both the deep love and the quiet
demands that come with that calling. You are warmly invited to join us for a Caregivers’ Luncheon on
Tuesday, June 9 at noon in the Lounge. We’ll share a simple meal, time for reflection, and the
encouragement that comes from being together with others who understand. Please know you are not alone
in this work. For more information, or to make a reservation for lunch, please contact Fr. Paul at
pfrolick@standrewsaa.org.
Summer Sunday School
June 14-July 26 | 9:45 am | 1st Floor Classroom
Sunday School continues through June and
July at 9:45 in the first-floor classroom for 3-year-olds through 5th grade. Please join us to learn
about the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus: I am the bread, the light, the gate, the good shepherd, the
resurrection, the way, and the vine. Each week we will have fun activities with a craft, a story, a
song, and play time (hopefully in the play yard as much as weather permits).
Outreach and Social Justice Meeting
Sunday, June 14 | 11:15 am | Chapel
Guest speaker Sarah Sampas discusses disinformation and
polarization in our communities.

Summer Reading: “Stuart Little” by E. B. White
Mondays, June 15 + 22, July 6 + 13 + 20 | 7:15 to 8:15 pm | Playground
We will again have a
summer reading program, open to everyone who likes to take part in telling a good story (or just listen
to a good story). Each week we assign parts, including the narrator of the story, when a specific
character is not speaking. The readings are drop-in so bring a chair and come give it a try! Contact
Norm Richert for more information.
Centering Prayer & Psalms
Wednesdays | 10:00 am | Chapel & Zoom
Please join us on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 am in the Chapel. We will spend about twenty minutes in
silence, read and reflect on a psalm together, and then return to silence. If you are unable to join us
in person in the Chapel, you can join us on Zoom (meeting link
), or sit in silence at home. You can read the psalm
HERE.
All are welcome.

Music Notes
Hymn 370: I Bind Unto Myself Today
For today’s high feast we sing this great hymn of the Trinity. The hymn is in an ancient Celtic prayer form called a “lorica” or breastplate, which is why this hymn is called “St. Patrick’s Breastplate.” A prayer for protection, it seeks and celebrates God’s presence in every aspect of our lives. Both tunes in it are ancient Irish tunes; the tune for verse 6, “Deirdre,” may be the oldest tune in our hymnal. This long, complex, deep hymn is delightful to sing and inspiring to contemplate. - Donna Wessel Walker
Holy Trinity Blessing
The stunning atmosphere of this morning’s anthem by Matthew Owens (b. 1971), Organist and Master of Choristers at Wells Cathedral in England following his tenure as Assistant Conductor of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain from 1993 to 1999, is sired by an almost ethereal organ part, featuring flourishes on flute stops, later supported by a drone-like pedal line. - Dennis Powers
