Thanksgiving Boxes

Thank you to everyone who donated a thanksgiving box to feed a family in need this holiday. We collected 19 boxes to benefit Henrico Department of Social Services. Big thanks to our delivery drivers, Mary Catherine Washo and Vince McCaffrey for taking all the boxes over to St. Martin’s Church on Saturday.

Adult Advent Forum Series

November 27, December 5 and 11

Advent is a season of preparation, and this year in addition to preparing for the Messiah, we also are preparing to call a new rector (after Jesus has come!). In the adult forum time from 9 - 10 a.m. on the first three Sundays of Advent, we will gather for conversation and activities focusing on who we are, who we have been, what are our hopes, and how we can welcome a new clergy leader into the community. On November 27 and December 11, we will gather in Thornton Hall to participate in a parish timeline project to show the events, large and small, that have shaped the parish and also offer an opportunity for individual families to note their own milestones here. On December 5, when the Blood Drive is taking place in Thornton Hall, we’ll gather in the church for some conversation. Breakfast treats and coffee will be available! 

Children ages 3-5th grade are invited to Children's Church while the forum is taking place. We will meet in the Children's Chapel space on the second floor. No signup required - Advent + Christmas crafts and snacks provided.

December Evensong + Community Dinner 

Our 1^st Sunday Evensongs and Community Dinners continue on December 4^th, with the service at 5:00 PM. This month, we’ll hear the Parish Choir, joined by the Choral Scholars, in a plainchant inspired setting of the evening canticles by the Canadian Healey Willan. The anthem will be Charles Villiers Stanford’s inspiring Benedictus in Bb, with words appropriate for the Advent season. 

Our dinner menu this month will be lasagna, bread, salad, and dessert. If you would like to bring part of this dinner, sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/ascadventdinner
