Starting Wednesday, April 18, 2012, our Wednesday Evening Eucharist will begin at 6:30PM. Why change the time for our Wednesday Evening Eucharist? Usually, we have two to four members from our community at the Wednesday service. When asked why they do not attend the Wednesday service, many have responded, “I can’t get from work to church by 5:30PM.” If you haven’t worshiped on Wednesday evenings, we invite you to come. The Wednesday service is an intimate service of prayer, reflection and Holy Communion.
Starting Sunday, June 3, our Sunday worship service will begin at 10:00AM. Why change the time for our Sunday worship? In our history as a parish, we have changed the service time in the summer, due to the summer heat. This year, come September, we will keep the 10:00 AM service time. Sunday School for Children and Adults will be after the service, ending by noon. The main reason for this change is that providing Christian education for children or parents with children is difficult with our current schedule. Parents with children cannot attend morning class because childcare is not offered. With only one service, teachers do not worship, because they are in class. You will receive much more information on the Child and Adult Christian Education in the coming months. We know that changes to the schedule make a change to routine. We pray that through our communications in the coming months, we will make this a smooth transition, rich with opportunities to grow in faith.
The Rev. Lisa Saunders
