Announcements for the week of December 22, 2024
This Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Advent, Rev. Mary Davis will lead us in Holy Eucharist Rite One. After the service, Coffee & Conversation will center on The Greening of the Church—our Episcopalian tradition for adorning the church—for our Christmas Eve service and the Christmas season.
On Tuesday, December 24, at 4 pm, St. John the Divine will host its Christmas Eve service. There will be no service on Christmas Day.
Please return your 2025 Pledge/Estimate of Giving cards by placing them on the collection plate, mailing them to the church, or putting them in the office lockbox.
