We had a “kerfuffle” over the use of the Great Hall, so all 4 services will happen in the Church. If it appears to be reaching capacity at 9:30, remember that 11:00 is another opportunity for Christmas in July. We will even have a couple organ carols at Sundays@5, along with other Random Acts music. Unfortunately, the kerfuffle resulted in us cancelling the EYC event for Saturday night.
We will have a Christmas tree in the middle of the Bell Tower and one in front of the doors to the new addition. Both will be collection points for your Christmas gift of school supplies for children in need at Pembroke Meadows Elementary School. A list is attached below for suggested items.
We are planning details now for our Youth Overnight Retreat for High School. August 9-10 we are spending the night at St. James’ Accomack on the Eastern Shore. There will be time for service work, conversation, worship and good food and building new friendships. If you are a rising 9-12th grader, please sign up or ask for more details.
Ashley is on vacation, though still plans to come for Christmas worship, and she will teach the Children's Chapel with St. Nicholas, the Bishop of Myra. Genevieve is also on vacation, though she remains in some pain that is limiting her ability to enjoy the time. Keep both of them in your prayers.
See you Sunday, Bob+
