Almighty God, source of all good counsel: open our hearts to your will as we prepare to call a new dean of this cathedral. Comfort the anxious, sustain the joyful, and let the light of your grace illumine the way for us to walk in.
We pray for an end to the gun violence which plagues our nation. May God inspire and strengthen us in our work to protect all the children of God. We pray for peace throughout the world. Hasten, O God, our commitment to justice and peace for all God’s people.
We pray for Sean, Presiding Bishop; Bonnie, our Bishop; for Elizabeth, Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; Donald and Craig, Lutheran Bishops in Lower Michigan; and for Moisés, Bishop of the Dominican Republic. In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer we pray for the Church of the Province of Myanmar. In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer we remember St. Thomas’, Trenton; and Good Shepherd, San Pedro, in the Dominican Republic.

From the Stewardship Committee
This year’s stewardship theme is Rooted in Righteousness: Giving That Endures, inspired by Tobit 4:6-11. As we begin planning for the upcoming campaign, we invite you to reflect on how your generosity helps St. Paul’s remain a beacon of light, love, and service in Midtown Detroit. To kick off the season, Joe Poisson will be hosting a Stewardship Dinner this July for the Stewardship Team. Stay tuned for more details—and thank you for being part of this sacred journey of giving.
Thank you!

Summer Junior Organ Scholars
Young people ages 10-18 are invited to sign-up for our Summer Junior Organ Scholar program! Music is a vital part of our worship together, and the organ is a large part of this. Have you ever wanted to see this musical instrument up close? Participants will shadow Canon Tarrant through an 11:00 a.m. worship service and will assist with the duties of the organists. After the service, participants get an opportunity for an organ tour, and to play our mighty pipe organ! For any questions, write to Canon Tarrant at jtarrant@detroitcathedral.org and/or see the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the Gallery.
