This Sunday's hosts are Cassie & Jack Gurnon at 9am and Meg Mill at 11am.
Next week the hosts are Debbie Smith at 9am and Maggie & Nick Westberg at
11am.

Coffee hour is a service to one another, as well as a welcome to newcomers.
It would be helpful if each parish family hosted once a quarter, spending
between $30-$50 providing simple snacks. Ideally we should have 2-3 hosts
per coffee hour. A summer schedule is posted in Moseley Hall. There are
still openings each week. You may also sign up here

Sunday Morning Childcare
PROFESSIONAL CHILDCARE is provided in Moseley Hall during the 9am and 11am
Masses.

Parents at the 11am Mass are kindly requested to keep their children with
them in church after Communion, so that the nursery area can be cleared
before Coffee Hour begins.
Entr’acte Summer Sessions
Entr’acte means literally “between the acts”, and in our context the time
between the two sung liturgies on Sundays of the 9:00am and 11am Masses.
But the term also covers an actual further event, beyond a mere
intermission, and it is in that spirit that we have a tradition here of
presenting an element of our educational ministry between the two services,
which this year we shall be offering throughout the Summer season, starting
with a short series in July on notable figures in Anglo-Catholicism and the
Anglo-Catholic movement.

Our Entracteurs will be Fr. Alistair Macdonald-Radcliff, who will speak on
17 July about King Charles I’s Archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud
(1573-1645), and on 31 July about the noted theologian, liturgist, and 
Bishop
of Durham, John Cosin (1594-1672).  In between, on 24 July, Mr. Nicholas
Westberg will speak on Ralph Cudworth (1617-1688), Anglican clergyman and a
leading representative of the so-called “Cambridge Platonists.” Fr. David
Thompson will then follow, giving four presentations through the month of
August on The Psalms.
Tuesday Community Supper Volunteers
Please consider serving at the Tuesday Night Supper one Tuesday a month.
Volunteers are asked to commit to coming at 5:00pm and staying until
6:45pm. We need a dishwasher who will run the commercial machine; training
will be provided. Please contact Karen Harrington at
kharrington theadventboston org with your availability.
Wednesday Morning Bible Study – Summer Break
The Wednesday morning Bible Study with Fr Adams is in recess for the months
of July and August. It will resume in September.
Church League Softball

Park Drive, Boston. Please contact Andrew Huss (huss andrew protonmail com)

Hosts Needed for Organ Competition this Fall
The Boston Bach International Organ Competition is in need of hosts for
eighteen inspirational postgraduate organ players coming to participate in
this year's competition, taking place from September 3rd through 11th. They
will arrive on August 30th to prepare for the three competition rounds,
hailing from across Europe, Japan/Korea/China, South Africa, and the US.
During the latter part of the competition week, the Advent will be the site
of the second round and a concert by members of the jury. In 2018 during
the last BBIOC, Advent members hosted the first prize and third prize
winners! If you would be interested in hosting any of these young artists
during their stay in Boston and keeping up the prize-winning tradition, you
will receive free tickets to the jury concert. The players' brief bios for
this year’s competition are on the website:

Introducing Leo!
Since the loss of Simon earlier this year, we had been looking for another
church cat. Not only because it’s nice to have a feline friend on the
premises, but also because the mere presence of a cat discourages vermin –
and there has been a significant increase in rodent activity around the
property of late. We reached out to the Animal Rescue League of Boston
<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cKeMms98EVr8Z7a5Ec-5BL3zPMwbAsgG3xFPSNLFlze8MlQ-IrrdQRI29fEHU86-BfFNM2B177zKUvcHgj2rg0kLqEzRQz-UYkw6ByGgVcU5-WhpwV_XqRe6rWMG36DO-er3vs2Ud4kRPRJL_oxwbw==&c=ZtcLBY94MigFgg7O-HS6LThGtTo4073785G66US7cZWPhO-Uq7CrZQ==&ch=ncsVo5u_KCQBMtVWjIOkAOttrICxqri5AcPf_-nFSiUykqiCa-ZPyA==>,
which has a “Working Cats” program to place cats in non-traditional
settings such as breweries, warehouses, fire stations, and now – a church!

This handsome mini-panther was called Midnight at the shelter, but we have
changed his name to Leo (in honor of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome 440–461,
who saved the city from invading Huns in 452). Leo loves people of all
ages, but we do ask that you give him some space and patience while he gets
used to his new home. Two further requests: please do not let him outside,
and do not feed him table food. We don’t want him to develop bad habits!
