A Note from the Vicar Hello, everyone. Summer soon will be here! And with the summer comes our annual visitation of Bishop John Bauerschmidt on Sunday, August 4th. My reason for looking ahead to Bishop John’s visitation now is to invite anyone who is interested in being baptized, confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church to please contact me now. We will need to make preparations in the meantime to be ready so Bishop John can administer these sacramental rites in August. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Faithfully, Fr. John Weekly Prayer List Please contact Fr. John to add someone in need of prayer to our weekly prayer list. He can be reached at jrunkle9@verizon.net or 919-260-2157. MISSION COUNCIL Sunday, May 19th at 10:45 a.m. following worship. All are welcome to attend the meetings.
