Announcements for May 22, 2022
Altar flowers are in honor of Kevin’s baptism
donated by Eileen Drache
Today we welcome as a child of God, Kevin Thomas Drache,
son of Alan & Audrey Drache. Colleen Drache, Eileen Drache, and Leonard Drache will serve as Kevin’s sponsors.
Please join us at our 10 am worship service today in welcoming Kevin Thomas
as a new member of the Christian church universal.
Now through the end of June, we will have two services at 8:30 am and 10 am with Sunday School at 9 am. This
is a trial period through June to decide if we will continue with two
services or return to one. Kids are invited to return to worship for
Holy Communion. Reminder, please bring a mask to wear even if you are vaccinated.
Coffee Hour will be held between services. You can sign-up to host Coffee Hour via the sheet in the narthex or by going to https://bit.ly/hccoffeehour
to sign up online. Coffee Hour treats can be 1 or 2 simple snacks,
store bought or homemade. When you sign up you are not responsible for making the coffee, just bringing the treats!
Worship is being streamed live to our church Facebook page.
The worship service where the choir sings will be live-streamed.
The first & third Sundays the choir sings at 8:30 am and at 10 am
all other Sundays. Unless you are assisting in worship from the
altar, you will not be on camera, even during Communion.
All ages are invited to join Pastor Peggy for a Mindfulness Walk from 4-5 pm on Thursday, May 26th at Maple Grange Park.
This is a child friendly activity where we will meet at the park for a
walk, stopping 2-3 times along the way on the path to practice a
mindfulness exercise. At the end of our walk there will be time
to play and visit on the playground. We hope you will join
us!
