HELLO PARISHIONERS - A reminder that this Sunday is our annual meeting and potluck lunch, starting at 11:15 at the Yacht Club. Please plan to be there if you can. And families with young children: remember there's professional childcare in the undercroft, with pizza and a movie! No need to rsvp - just drop your child off and come on down to the meeting.
Also, in church we'll be celebration The Presentation of our Lord, also known as Candlemas, a nice mid-winter service to help remind us that spring is on its way. As is our tradition, we'll be honoring the work of the Altar Guild at announcements, so come out and thank them for all they do!
THANK YOU TO OUR ALTAR GUILD On Candlemas we honor our Altar Guild and all their work behind the scenes to make our worship so beautiful, week after week, year after year. The members of our altar guild are: Polly Myhrum, Liz Pavelka, Barbara Giaimo, Debra Evans and Leeann Haubrich. We are so grateful for their work!
