The Divine Dance Summer Reading
Pick up a copy in the Café or order online.
St. Mary's clergy and staff invite you to read
The Divine Dance by Richard Rohr this summer. As we've been discussing the Holy Trinity over the past few Sundays,
The Divine Dance
presents further exploration of the Trinity, "t
he unending flow of giving and receiving between Father, Son, and Spirit that is the pattern of reality," and what it means for our daily lives.
Picking up a copy of St. Mary's summer read is a
great way to stay connected while you're traveling. All of St. Mary's staff is reading and cannot wait to
provide opportunities to discuss its themes further this fall. Please pick up a copy in the
Café this Sunday for $10 or
order it online.

Volunteer as a Funeral Usher
Are you able to assist as an usher during a funeral?
Ushering during a funeral service is a great way to volunteer at St. Mary's. Funerals are typically the
largest, most uplifting services held at St. Mary's.
Ushers would need to be prepared to welcome and greet family and friends during this time of much needed comfort. It's an important ministry of St. Mary's. If you have a flexible schedule, time during the week, and
are interested in volunteering, please contact Ashley Cameron at (804) 784-5678 or
[email protected].
