A Note from the Vicar Hello everyone. Winter blues got you down? I have just the solution! Look for ways to share divine life. If you don’t have a regular practice of reading and/or praying with Scripture, start one. If you have a friend or neighbor who is sick and out of commission, go by for a visit and take a meal. Before each Sunday service, read the lessons in advance. Worship will mean more when you do. Invite a friend to come to church and experience the divine life we enjoy each Sunday. There are many ways to share divine life by loving both God and our neighbors. When we do, it warms our hearts and provides a great cure for the winter blues! Faithfully, Fr. John MISSION COUNCIL MEETS WEDNESDAY February 27 at 5:30 pm. All are welcome to attend the meetings!! Mission Council Minutes and the Financial Report for each month are posted in the Parish Hall. TUTORING PROGRAM – Starts up again January 17th Thursday. It concludes at 5:00pm. This is a joint effort of CAC and St. James. Tutors are Bonner Scholars from the University of the South as well as former teachers. |
