Thursday Announcements December 1, 2022
 
ERIN’S EPISTLETTES
  • I've noticed fewer name tags at Sunday Eucharist. For the sake of creating a warm welcome for visitors, I encourage you to continue wearing these.
  • On a related note, our visitor welcome form has been streamlined. Instead of being in a binder at the back of the church, these are now on orange slips in the pew racks. (Alternatively, the form can be completed electronically using the QR code on the first page of the bulletin.) Completed slips can be dropped in the offering plate. If you see a newcomer, please introduce yourself and invite them to complete the form so we can get to know them. 
  • Don't forget: the bishop's annual visit and our celebration of new ministry will take place the evening of Friday, January 13.

​Sacred Ground Registration Extended


The registration deadline for the next diocesan-wise Sacred Ground session has been extended until December 16. Register now! 
Sacred Ground is a dialogue series on race grounded in faith, and participants learn about historic and contemporary racism in the U.S.
and how to encourage improved human relations for ourselves, our communities, and our nation.
Circles begin meeting on January 9, 2023, and you may learn more and register online on our webpage.

It’s that  time of the year again, and we need your help!    
We will be decorating the church after the service on December 11th.  
                               
We have jobs for everyone and the more the merrier. Please plan on
staying a little longer to help.                                                                                                 
We are also in need of a small lighted tree for the kids to decorate in the Parish Hall,
bout 4 feet tall or shorter.     If you have a tree you could donate, please call Father Bob at
​436-7767.
