Sanctuary Air Conditioning – Because there are issues with the Air Conditioning in the Sanctuary we will worship in the Parish Hall until the issue is fixed. It will be a simple solution, once the Vestry approves the company to install the new system, it should be just a couple more weeks.
CAPS Fundraiser – CAPS will have their annual fundraiser on Sunday, September 17. They are selling take-out BBQ from Captain Bob’s for $13/plate. Meals will include BBQ, fried chicken, slaw, hush puppies, and green beans. We have 50 tickets to sell so invite your friends and neighbors to buy a ticket to support CAPS. See the flyer on the bulletin board for more information.
Worship Service Video – A post-production video of worship will be on our YouTube channel on Sunday afternoon. A link to the video will be provided separately. Our channel URL is at this link.
