Restructuring Sunday Morning Beginning March 1st
Through much discussion and input from parishioners, the decision has been made to move the 10am service to 10:30am, beginning March 1st, the First Sunday in Lent. This will allow Sunday School to start at 9:30, following breakfast at 9 am. The parishioners who attend the 8 am service will be able to stay for breakfast and attend Sunday School, and those who attend the now 10:30 service, will be able to attend breakfast, Sunday School, and then service at 10:30. Fellowship, with cookies and coffee, following the 10:30 service, will remain the same. This will open opportunities for all parishioners as well as support the Sunday School classes and ministries that work tirelessly to provide a seamless Sunday morning.

We are using a text messaging service to stay connected. It is much more convenient and succinct than the email process, for quick reminders and
short
announcements. It will not take the place of these weekly updates, but is a more efficient way of keeping in touch. It is completely customizable!! If you would like to receive some notifications but not others, simply reply STOP to the list you would like to be removed from. IF you are not sure, you can always as Fr. Mark, or Samantha.
