Holy Week is shaping up as a dramatic time for us to prepare ourselves for the Festival of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Father Arnold has assembled the schedule for all of Holy Week in one place. We will be using it as a planning guide this Sunday immediately following Church School as we divide up parts and responsibilities. He will bring copies with him, but feel free to get a sneak peek at the plans.

The vestry has decided to CHANGE our Sunday morning schedule effective February 19. On that day, we will begin sharing worship at 9:30 am and Church School at 10:40 am. On this special day in the life of our church, we will introduce a multi-week study in Church School designed to allow each of us to discover our unique spiritual gifts and to find ways of putting them to work to serve God’s Kingdom here on earth. Please join us in prayer for the success of our ministry using this new schedule. And please mark your calendars: Sunday, February 19.
