This week you will be hearing II Samuel 1:1, 17-27. Next week, we will hear II Samuel, 5:1-5, 9-10. Should you wish to follow the story, between now and next week, please read II Samuel, 1-4 inclusive. Beginning Sunday, July 5, I plan to make myself available in the Sanctuary beginning at 9:15 should you have questions or wish to discuss the passages you have read. Further, I have charted both I & II Samuel, chapter by chapter on a single sheet. I have made 15 copies which will be given to Dave Wells for distribution this Sunday, July 28. If we run out of copies, more will be made. See Dave if you would like a copy. On Wednesday July 15 at 7 pm all Sunday school parents are invited to attend a short meeting/discussion in the Sanctuary. We want your input and ideas. Please RSVP Barbara Clark at 669-2384. PRAYER REQUESTS: As requested, Prayer Request Cards are now on hooks in the pews, as well as on the table at the back of the nave.

ALTAR FLOWERS: Have a special event, birthday, anniversary or graduation you wish to mark? The Altar Flower sign-up sheet is located on the table in the Narthex.

PARISH PICNIC: St. Dunstan's Parish Picnic will be held immediately after the 10:00 a.m. Service on Sunday, June 28 at the Ellsworth Harbor Park on Water Street in the area around and in the central gazebo. You are asked to carpool as you can and park in the gravel area behind the Harbormaster's hut, leaving spaces for customers at the ice cream stand. Please do not park in the lined paved spaces near the wharf. The parish is supplying a grill, hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks. We cannot bring alcoholic beverages. Please bring any dish that you have promised for the picnic or a spur of the moment offering. Most if all come and join us for a lively party. There are seats in the gazebo but it's wise to bring a beach chair! Coffee Hour Sign Up A Coffee Hour sign-up sheet is now available on the ECW bulletin board for July December services. Anyone is welcome to host or co-host a coffee hour. Please sign up if you are interested and ask Tracy, Leslie or Muffet for more information if needed.

Gentle reminder: Should you care to support the Coffee Hour ministry, there is a basket for donations on the table in the Fellowship Hall.

Remember to wear your nametags each Sunday!
