Quick Notes From the Rector
Dear Friends and Parishioners of St. Mary's,
This Sunday Sandy will lead us in singing the many
Patriotic hymns
in our Episcopal hymnal at both the 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services.
Just a reminder that all seniors and their friends are welcome to join us for our
Annual 4th of July Senior Lunch
this
Saturday, July 1
at 11:30 a.m. We will cook, eat in, and we have plenty of great bingo prizes to give away. Invite your friends and neighbors. Please RSVP to the office if you haven't already done so.
If you have any spare time and are willing to help weed the garden areas of the church, please let me know as we could certainly use your help.
I will be back in town for the Senior Lunch and I will see you all on Sunday.
Blessings,
Rev. Fran
