Sisters and brothers in Christ:

We worship this weekend on Sunday at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., the thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost. This week’s Gospel reading concludes a five-week series in the sixth chapter of John where the evangelist focused on Jesus’ teachings, beginning with feeding 5,000 people from five barley loaves and two fish. Our convenient 5 p.m. Saturday community Holy Eucharist will recommence on September 5.

twentysomethings Meet Tuesday

twentysomethings meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, August 25. See you at the Starbucks in Lowe’s Center. We’d love to have you join us as we have a time to visit before some of our members head off to college. If you’ve never joined us, this is the opportunity! Questions? Contact Kathy O’Connor, mizkoc@gmail.com. Join our Facebook Group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/658639067486063 to know the latest.
