Well, it is that time of year again! End of school and beginning of summer! It has been a great school year this year. We have come a far way! Our vestry is taking the month of July off however we are going to start a monthly cleaning of the parish hall. We really need to get into all the stuff that has been collecting dust for a long time. So, next Thursday the 26th we will be meeting at the chapel at 7PM to go through some stuff. It is important for those that know what to save and what to toss to come and help. We really need to get rid of stuff! At our last vestry meeting Pastor Dan brought up torture awareness. He has a petition that he would like everyone that is against torture to sign and we even put an ad in the Wallkill Valley Times. The ad was on Page 3 in the bottom left hand corner on July 18th's paper. This is the basic ad:
Torture is a Sin
Torture violates the basic dignity of the
human person that all religions hold dear.
It degrades all involved--the victim, the
torturer, the policy maker. It contradicts
our nation’s most cherished ideals.
Torture abuse threatens the soul of our
nation. Sign the petition.
Abolish torture now.

So, this gets out the message that we are standing against torture and it is an advertisement for our service! Also, after reading this blog you could go onto http://www.tortureisamoralissue.org/ to sign the petition against torture.
Well, I hope everyone is doing great and I will see you in church on Sunday at 9.
