+A Holy Week Primer+
In previous years, it has struck me how much is crammed in such a short time frame during Holy Week. Trying to digest it all in the course of 8 days is a bit like trying to get a sip of water from a fire hose. Sure, you might get some water, but you just as easily get blown away in the process.
So let us look ahead just a bit to prepare ourselves that we may savor the deep moments when they each come in due time. The material available at these links is offered as a primer to the services of the week and as a reflection to help us journey with Christ in his Passion, Death, and Resurrection.

Renovations, Phase One and Two, and
Paving of Hillsboro Avenue Parking Lots
Many thanks to to a parish family that donated the needed $500 to fully fund the Pearson Hall Phase One Renovations!
The vestry has approved timelines for fundraising and renovations/paving projects as described below.
-
May 31, 2022 – Phase One Renovations in Pearson Hall completed, including new carpet tile in the parish hall and new flooring in the kitchen and adjoining smaller rooms. With recent receipt of an additional $500, adequate funds are on hand to cover the $18k cost of this phase.
-
September 4, 2022 – Fundraising for Phase Two Renovations kickoff. This project will include new flooring for the front and rear entrances of Pearson Hall as well as the restrooms, cloak room, and storage room plus carpeting for the walkway and narthex. Early estimate: $15k. Parishioners may donate to Phase Two now or delay until fall when it is hoped that the congregation will donate adequate funds for the project before the end of 2022.
-
January, 2023 – Fundraising for the paving of the parking lot areas on Hillsboro Avenue across from the church will begin at the Annual Meeting. Early estimate for this project: $40k to $50k. $21k has already been donated to this project.
