Lunch on September 13: Please join us for our kickoff lunch after church on Sunday: chicken, broccoli and ziti. Once a month, we gather everyone together for a hot meal and a time of extended conversation. This is a good time to sit next to someone you don’t know. Thanks to Chef Randy Govoni and his team who cook, serve and clean up: Scott Sterner, Sofia Davies, Kim Shundler, Caleb Bior and Manny Idoko. If you appreciate hospitality and would like to try serving with our team, contact Joy: joywidoko@gmail.com.
Pizza and Games: Our Catechesis kickoff will be September 13, 4:00 – 6:00 pm in the Parish Hall. The church will provide pizza and drinks; please bring your favorite board games to share. The whole parish is invited to join in the fun.
Our Annual Parish Meeting is on Sunday, September 27, beginning at noon in the Parish Hall. We’ll hear reports from the Treasurer, the Senior Warden, and the Rector on the state of our parish, be presented with the budget for Fiscal Year 2027, and elect Vestry officers and at-large members. Please remember to fill out the Annual Membership Registration Form. This will allow you to vote and enable us to establish a quorum in accordance with our bylaws. (Please fill out a separate form for each member of the family.)
Fall Adult Sunday School: Come for a Survey of the Bible at 9:00 am every Sunday in the Parish Hall. The Bible tells the story of the world, all the way from its beginning to its end. But, if you don’t understand the larger story arch, making sense of individual Bible passages can be difficult. The goal of this class is to enable the average parishioner to pick up their Bible, read any passage, and have a sense of how it fits into the story of salvation. Attendees will receive a page of notes at the end of every class, detailing the major themes and an outline of each book of the Bible for their personal reference..
