Sunday Lectionary: Our Sunday readings come from a three-year cycle of assigned scriptures called the Revised Common Lectionary. Over the course of three years, we read our way through the books of the Bible. The lectionary readings for Sunday are now available on our website. Click on Sunday Lectionary to find the readings from the previous Sunday, this coming Sunday, and the week afterwards. During the current church seasons there is a choice of the Old Testament readings and the Psalm. We are using the second set. 

Adult Sunday School: We are now offering a Bible Study on Sunday mornings in the Parish Hall beginning at 9:30. No preparation is required; we are reading and discussing the Sunday Lectionary readings. 

Shrimp Dinner: The Churchmen’s Club will host the long-awaited Shrimp Dinner on Thursday, September 29th at 6pm in the Parish Hall. Tickets are available for purchase in the office as well from various Churchmen Club members. This year, the number of tickets has been reduced to allow for more spacing. Make sure you get your tickets early this year!
