If you can help, please let Bruce Lennihan know via email at michelleisgreat@comcast.net. We need at least 5 to 6 volunteers. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve Christ by serving the hungry.
Bible Study on Acts – Continuing on Sunday 7 July at 9 am, Fr. Mead is conducting a Bible Study centered around the book of the Acts of the Apostles. The group will meet in the parish library from here on out. We are using Bibles from the church, so all you need to bring is yourself and a desire to learn and grow together. All are most welcome and invited to join in the discussion!
