Announcements as of July 2:

Picture Directory Draft: We have printed the first draft of our picture directory. Please read your information carefully. Put a check by your entry if everything is correct. If anything is not correct, be sure to write in the correction. If your entry is missing, please send your information directly to Diane Castro, dianecastro53@gmail. Note: This will not be an online directory. We will print physical copies which will only be distributed within the parish. Thank you for your co-operation!

Summer Sunday School: A new mini-series begins 7/12, as our own missionary to East Asia joins us to teach on the intersection of art and prayer. Join us in the Parish Hall at 9 a.m. on 7/12, 7/19, and 7/26. Looking ahead, plan to join us on Sundays 8/2 and 9/6 at 9 a.m. as well. Dan McKinley will show and lead a discussion of a new documentary, Lighten Our Darkness: Illuminating Choral Evensong. We will learn about choral evensong as celebrated in cathedrals, colleges, and the churches of England and Ireland. Please invite your friends to enjoy this opportunity and then our service after.

Summer Heat: Without air conditioning, our church building can get very warm. Please take care to dress in light and airy clothes, drink plenty of fluids, and have breakfast before coming to church. Hand fans are available at the entrances, ice water available in the parish hall, and orange juice in the sacristy. If someone near you should faint, please alert the ushers immediately.

Summer Tithes: We depend on your tithes and offerings to keep the lights on over the summer. We are ever grateful to you for your generosity. 

Ministry Safe: If you work with children or youth, please check your emails for the Ministry Safe video link. We need to be able to report to the Diocese that all of our volunteers are up-to-date by the end of July. Thank you!

Vestry Nominations: We are currently taking nominations for Vestry Members-At-Large and Sr. Warden. If you would like to put someone’s name forward for consideration, please contact either Peter Smick or JoAnn Buccigrosso.

Fire Drill: The vestry has been consulting with Andrew Neill, our new safety liaison. After the service on Sunday, July 19, we will have our first ever safety meeting and fire drill. Andrew will give a short talk about safety procedures for a variety of circumstances, and we will end with a fire drill evacuation. 

Upcoming Services in the Chapel: Our Wednesday noon Mass will be cancelled for this week.

Office Closed: Office will be closed Monday, July 6.
