Our bishop, the Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Jr. will be present for an Episcopal Visit next Sunday May 7th. There will be only one service that day at 10:30 a.m.

The members of St. Andrew's Church and their Rector, June Hardy Dorsey will be present with us on this occasion as they will be presenting three persons for confirmation.

Our choir will be offering two special anthems that day as well.  It will be a red letter day all around. Please plan now to be present to greet our bishop and our sisters and brothers of the Episcopal Church in Lorain County!
