THE EPIPHANY ESTAR - JANUARY 26, 2023
 
This coming Sunday, the 29th, we will have our Annual Parish Meeting.  We will meet in the "Nave", that part of the church where we sit.  It will help if we try to keep our reports short, sweet, and to the point as the treasurer and warden's reports will necessarily be lengthy.
 
Sunday after church we had coffee in the choir room and spilled into the narthex. It worked quite well.  Thank ALL of you.
 
Our sermon Sunday was given by Steven Tomlinson, our Iona Ministry Student Intern.  He continues to offer new ideas about old words--Repent-"Try on".....and Generosity instead of "Impress".....interesting food for thought.
 
Altar Flowers---if you have signed up February 28 through April 9th that is LENT - Please indicate another date.  Thank you.
