Announcements as of June 11:
Parish Survey: We want to hear from you. Please take a few minutes to fill out the 2026 parish survey. Your answers will help our parish leadership as we plan for the future. Last day for filling out the survey will be June 14.
Hospitality Head: Please pray about answering the call for a new leader for our hospitality team. The role involves organizing a team of volunteers to cook and clean up.. Email Fr. Brian if you may be interested in helping out with this vital ministry.
Light in the World: Our art show “The Sea and All that Dwells in It” continues through this Sunday. Enjoy artwork in the parish hall, and consider a purchase (a portion of proceeds benefit CTR).
Safeguard Training Sunday: The diocese has a new safeguarding policy and is requiring all parishes to review it in-person yearly. This takes place today right after church on June 14 in the parish hall and should be brief (20 minutes or so). This is different from the Ministry Safe videos that we watch online. This event is required for everyone that volunteers with children or youth. If you can’t make it, please let us know so we can provide an alternative time for you. Thanks!
Free Palms Trees: The palm trees to the right and left of the altar rail have served their purpose for the Easter season and are now available for the taking. Please help yourself!
Baby Bottle Fundraising: We’re raising funds for Your Options Medical in Revere with a campaign through Father’s Day. Bottles are available in the Church vestibule and elsewhere. Please fill your baby bottle with spare change, cash, or a check, and return it on June 21.
Summer Sunday School: This summer we are offering three different mini-series for adult Sunday School at 9 a.m. For the first topic series, we will watch presentations from this past year’s Anglicans for Life Conference. Weekly topics will be “Thinking Biblically about Bioethics in the Church” (June 14), “Thinking Biblically about Bioethics at Conception” (June 21), and “Thinking Biblically about Bioethics at the End-of-Life” (June 28). After each session, there will be a brief Q&A opportunity with Fr. Brian or Fr. Samuel.
Films Worth Talking About: We will end this year’s season of films on Saturday, June 27, with a faith-affirming biopic from 1955 titled “A Man Called Peter.” The film traces the life of Minister Peter Marshall, who had a modest beginning in Scotland and eventually became chaplain of the US Senate. Add to this a touching true love story, and we have a movie that will lift your spirit! Food and fellowship starts at 6 p.m at the Chuisano’s home in Beverly. Please RSVP to michael.chiusano@comcast.net.
Women’s Ministry: Our final Women’s Brunch will be Saturday, June 20, 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the church. As a special exception, we’re welcoming a man as our speaker, who will share his personal experiences of living in East Asia. Feel free to bring a food or drink and/or a friend. Those with connections with East Asia may find this talk particularly interesting!
Bibles for Kenya: A church in Lowell is collecting used Bible to send to churches and schools in Kenya. Please place any used Bibles you wish to donate in the bins at the entrances.
