Coffee Hour Hosting Changes

As our church family grows, the coffee hour needs are also growing.  We are trying a new concept where teams of 3-4 people will be assigned specific Sundays to be responsible for providing refreshments for coffee hour.  We already have 2 teams set up and ready to go.  We would like to have at least 2 more teams of 3-4 people each.  If you are interested, please let Karen Rafferty know at [email protected].  You can either organize your own team of 3-4 or let us know you are interested in helping and we will assign you to a team.  If you organize your own team, please see the e-sign at the bottom of this e-news.

We hope you will join us in this important and rewarding activity for our church family. 

Please join us this Sunday, at 9:15 am, for our All Parish Meeting where we will be discussing some exciting developments regarding the future of our parish.  We will be hearing from Fr. Jonathan about the current state of the parish, the exponential growth, increased ministry events, current challenges, and additional needs. A presentation will be given by the Building Committee and the architect commissioned to support our research to discuss the needs assessment, and how we can address our current and projected needs.  Also, the newly created Capital Campaign Committee will detail some ideas for how we plan to raise funds for this exciting time and specific ways you can help. As we embark on this effort, we ask for your prayers and support as we seek to create a space that will be a bulwark of our faith for generations.

“Color Run” to support Mosaic. Marcia Washburn is coordinating a 5K run on the Patrick Henry College campus this April 6th that is supporting Mosaic’s work. Over $1,2000.00 has been raised so far and they are expecting between 150-200 students, faculty/staff, and community members to come run and walk the course. All are welcome and encouraged to join in the run and to donate to a worthy cause – LIFE!

See you on the course!

It is about time to start our weekly mowing of the church property! If you have served on the team before and desire to continue serving in this capacity, or you would like more information about how to get involved, please contact Criss Hyde via the email address listed below.

Thank you in advance!

There are some projects in the rectory and cottage that are a bit more than “work-day projects” and will require a more time. Doing these ourselves allows us to conserve resources, to be good stewards of our buildings and property, and take care of our Rector and his family. Specifically, we are looking for volunteer help with some woodworking and tile projects. If you have experience and would like to possibly volunteer, call/text Susan Herbert at the phone number listed below.

To see a list of the things we need to accomplish, please visit the narthex for a list.
