Worship
† Our next Liturgy Lab will be July 7th. We will discuss how changing the orientation of the room and its furniture might change how worship is experienced. 9:15AM Donuts & discussion in the Parish Hall.
† During the summer months, 10AM services may be held in the parish hall if it is too warm to hold them in the church, which does not have air conditioning. 8:30AM Morning Prayer will continue to be held in the church.
† Morning Prayer is offered at 8:30AM on Sunday mornings and at 9:15AM Tuesdays through Fridays. Anyone can pray the service privately using the Book of Common Prayer or one of a number of smartphone apps! See the last section of the digital edition of the “Acts of the Apostles” for details.
Outreach
† Our Connect by Night hosting month has been moved from July to December.
† Thanks to all who contributed to food collection for St. Mark’s in Frankford. Joe Zorc delivered groceries collected and they were very appreciative and added it to their pantry for parishioners in need. We will continue to collect food for St. Mark’s in the box in the parish office hallway. We will look for other opportunities to work with them. Let Joe Zorc know if you are interested in participating.
