Loaves and Phishes: Keeping Yourself Safe from Online Scams

common-sense guidelines—like slowing down, verifying independently, and knowing the red flags—that can
help protect you and those you love.

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.

Music Notes
LEVAS 203: There is a Balm in Gilead
This hymn is one of the great treasures of the African-American tradition. The deeply personal words are universal. The gently rolling contours of the melody express sorrow and comfort at once, embodying the complex reality of the text, that human pain and anxiety are real and that God’s grace heals, but not through the shallow path of denial. The proverbial “balm in Gilead” is used by the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah ironically to describe times when expected healing does not come; this hymn implies that Jesus is our “balm in Gilead” who always heals us, as he heals in today’s Gospel lesson. - Donna Wessel Walker
Drinkin’ of the Wine
This morning’s anthem by Rosephanye Powell (b. 1962), Professor of Voice at Auburn University, is an arrangement of an African-American spiritual commissioned by the Truman State University Chorus. Powell’s interpretation of spirituals is characterized by strong rhythmic emphasis and varied vocal textures, including counterpoint. She served as editor and wrote the introduction for the anthology William Grant Still: An Art Song Collection. - Dennis Powers
