Sanctuary Rehabilitation – Dominion Traditional Building Group will began work Tuesday, August 2 on the Sanctuary. If the weather holds out for them, they should be done by early-October. There will be opportunities to help monitor progress during their work.
Worship modification – The Vestry voted during their July meeting to hold worship services on the 1st and 5th Sundays of the month in the Parish Hall. This will allow members who have difficulty accessing the sanctuary to join us for worship. We will begin the practice on the 1st Sunday in September.
Parish Hall roof repairs – Will be completed once the shingles are received.
Ukrainian Relief – The Episcopal Relief and Development is gathering and sending relief assistance to the Ukraine. Donations to Episcopal Relief & Development’s Ukraine Crisis Response Fund will help the organization and its partners continue to provide assistance to people displaced by the crisis in Ukraine. Please consider assisting with this call to minister.
Sponsoring Altar Flower – There is a signup sheet to sponsor flowers during 2022 in the Sanctuary. Please signup to help enhance the appearance of the Sanctuary during worship. Contact Lynn if you have any questions.
Thought for the week – Need: It is hard to admit our weakness, our need for God. It can often be the shock of a loss – the breakdown of a relationship, the loss of a job, an unrealized ambition – which opens up a crack in our defenses, through which God can reach us, through which the light of the Gospel can shine, offering us God’s forgiveness and renewal.
