Free Palms: Usually, the church gets too hot for the palm plants located at the front of the church. They have served us well since Easter, and are now looking for a new home. If you have a good place for them, please feel free to take one or both.

Work Day: We have scheduled a church-wide work day for Saturday, July 26, beginning at 8 a.m. We will tackle landscape clean-up, as well as decluttering and organizing the kitchen, sacristy, and parish hall. It’s fun to work together and see the difference it makes!

How Not to Faint: Without air conditioning, our church building gets very warm in summer. To help keep you cool, the church will offer ice water in the Parish Hall and hand fans at the entrances. Please dress in light airy clothes, drink plenty of fluids, and eat a good breakfast before coming to church. If someone near you faints, alert the ushers immediately.

Ministry Heads Take Note: Fr. Brian will be emailing a “skeleton calendar” for next year to all ministry and committee heads. Please fill in the blanks for your ministry and send it back to Fr. Brian.

Prayer Group: A parishioner feels led to start Moms in Prayer at CTR. Moms in Prayer is an international prayer movement of women who meet once a week for an hour to intercede for their school-age and adult children, as well as grandchildren. They also commit to praying for the schools their children attend. Please sign up to indicate your interest.

Housing: We often have parishioners who are looking for housing. If you have an apartment to rent or other availability, please inform the parish office by emailing [email protected].

Flower Ministry: New members are welcome — to arrange flowers or provide flowers from their gardens. To learn more, please email Susan Bezuka at [email protected] or Susan Ortins at [email protected].

Summer Classes with Fr. Brian: Christian Foundations on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the sacristy and 39 Articles Sundays at 9:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall. You are welcome to join.

Request Prayer: Please note, we recently reset the Prayer Intentions. If you would like a request to remain on the list or a new one to add, please submit it the link on our Members’ Portal.
