Prayer Group meets Wednesday mornings, from 10:30 - 11:30. All are welcome.
A NOTE FROM THE CHOIR: We are currently learning the music of the Sewanee service (the music to be used in the Celebration 2010 service). The first music we are learning is the Kyrie (Lord, Have Mercy), followed by the Gloria and the Sanctus and Benedictus. When we are familiar enough with this music, it will be gradually introduced into the Eucharist service. The various selections will also be played on the piano or organ before the service each Sunday.
The 2010 Diocesan Service will be held in June at the Exhibition Park. If you are interested in attending this service, please sigh the poster at the back of the church because there is limited seating. If you would like to make a Memorial Donation towards the cost of the service bulletins, the flowers or the bread and wine, please take a form from the bottom of the poster. These memorial donation forms are self-explanatory but if you have any questions you can contact Wendy at 443-4630.
Our Diocesan 2010 Celebration is fast approaching and commemorative pins are available for $3 each. Anyone who didn’t get a chance to sign their name to the sign up sheet over the past few weeks and would like one of these special pins, please see me after church any Sunday or phone Wendy at 443-4630. We do have some extra pins but they will go fast. If you ordered a pin, you can pick it up any Sunday.
Exploring the Heart of Christianity: On the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month, Rev. Mike Conrad invites you to join in a study of the book, The Heart of Christianity by Marcus Borg. Borg is a contemporary biblical scholar who encourages us to be open to an emerging paradigm for Christianity in the 21st century. Our study will open some new possibilities and provides material for some great discussions.
