| May 20, 2008 - Summer Schedule |
| Beginning June 1, Father George Pence
will be taking over the parish for the summer with Mother Virigina
Bennett goes on the first leg of her sabbatical, ending Aug. 17. The
new calendar for June has been updated to accomodate this, so for
further information, please refer to the calendar. The schedule will be
updated next week when the summer schedule takes effect. An excerpt from Mother Bennett's entry in The Shield this month: "While I am on sabbatical our assisting priest, Fr. George Pence, will be the priest in charge. In case of emergencies please contact the parish office as usual or Fr. Pence. Once of the things that makes me feel good about going on this portion of my sabbatical is knowing that you will be in the very capable hands of Fr. Pence. I want to express my gratitite to him for his willingness to serve the parish in this way. I know you all will be truly blessed by his and Ione's presense during this time period." The biggest change is during the summer the 8 a.m. Holy Eucharist and 10 a.m. Holy Eucharist will be merged into one mass at 9 a.m. beginning June 1. This schedule will end this fall. |

2008 - Updates for Lent |
| The site has
moved to a new server. We apologize if anyone is experiencing technical
difficulties. Current schedule is as follows for the duration of Lent, which began Feb. 6: Lenten Wednesdays begin this Wednesday, Feb. 13. They begin with a 6 p.m. Holy Eucharist with Holy Unction, followed by "Soup and Sandwiches" at 6:30, "Class" beginning at 7 p.m. and the Office of Compline at 8:15 p.m. This will be added to the calendar on the left. Every Friday we will begin Stations of the Cross. Unlike last year, this service has been moved to 7 p.m. On Good Friday, March 21, it will be observed at 12:10 p.m. but is not a substitute for attendance of the Good Friday service that same evening. This devotion consists of the offering of prayer at fourteen stations within the church that reflect events associated with our Lord's passion and death. The object of the stations is to help the faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage of prayer to the chief scenes of Christ's sufferings and death. |
| Jan. 14, 2008 - Parish meeting and confirmation information. Important! |
| The parish
will be holding its annual
meeting Jan. 27. The meeting will begin with a joint Holy Eucharist
beginning at 9 a.m. followed by a potluck brunch and the annual Parish
Meeting. The meeting has been moved from Sunday, Feb. 3, because the
Bishop's visitation and confirmations will be held instead. There will not be an 8 a.m. or 10
a.m. Holy Eucharist this day. It will be conjoined in this service. The Bishop's visitation and reception of confirmands will be the following Sunday, Feb. 3, instead. Please join us for this celebration! Addition: This service will be at the regular time, 10 a.m. |
| Dec. 30, 2007 - New Year! |
| All
the news from the previous year has been archived. If you are missing
something from that news cycle, please take a look in the Downloads
section on the left, under "News from previous years." This will be
done annually to keep the front page clean. Beginning next week, Jan. 6, Mother Bennett will beginning the new Rector's Class, People of the Book, "Bible 101." From her entry in the Shield: "The Bible is the book that draws Christians together. It is also the book that often divides us. But what and how much do we really know about the basics of this 'book'? And, is it really a 'book'? In this class we will look at the bible from several different aspects; where it came from how it was put together, who decided what was to be put in it. What wen into making it the book we describe as 'holy' and what does that mean for us? We will also look at the theme, historical setting, and focus of every 'book' in the Bible. This is an awesome task and while there is no way that we can cover everything, we can cover a great deal and hopefully learn much useful information in the process." The class begins at 9:10 a.m. and will be every Sunday after until it ends. Hope you will come! |
