Upcoming Events:
Advent
Would you like to host a communion during the upcoming season of Advent? Reverend Susan will come to your home, celebrate the Holy Eucharist and share in fellowship with all those in attendance. This is an old custom in the Episcopalian Church; as a host you simply provide the home-- the priest brings all things necessary! The hope is to offer a week night service; evening and time to be determined by host and priest. Look for this schedule on November 30th, the First Sunday of Advent.
Outreach
Our Holiday Outreach Project will be to collect children's mittens, hats, jackets, hoodies/sweatshirts for Pettengill House. Talk to Pat :McBride of St. Elizabeth's Guild for more information.
We will also continue to collect non-perishable food for the hungry in our communities – which we present and bless at the offertory. Grab a sack as you're leaving the sanctuary which has details/needs attached.
