Announcements as of July 9

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, 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!

Summer Sunday School: A new mini-series began this morning, with our missionary to East Asia teaching on the intersection of art and prayer. Join us in the Parish Hall at 9 am on 7/19 and 7/26 for the next two sessions. Looking ahead, plan to join us on Sundays 8/2 and 9/6 at 9 as well. Dan McKinley will lead a showing and discussion of a new documentary, Lighten Our Darkness: Illuminating Choral Evensong, examining the service of choral evensong as celebrated in the cathedrals, colleges, and churches of England and Ireland.

Summer Heat: Without air conditioning, our church building can get very warm. 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.

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 Peter Smick or JoAnn Buccigrosso.

Fire Drill: The vestry has been consulting with Andrew Neill, our safety liaison. After the service on July 19, we will have a 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.
