Are you with us? We need help to re-start our Sunday School Program!
Update from the Vestry
The Vestry met Tuesday, September 10, continuing to move forward with our parish’s mission. Meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. and are open to all. The Diocese has begun vetting candidates for an Interim Rector. When we have more information, we will share with the congregation. We currently have clergy for many upcoming Sundays and will continue the "new" old tradition of Morning Prayer as needed. Some supply priests who are partnering with us: Rev. John Pumphrey, Rev. Canon David Lovelace and Rev. Canon Martha Kirkpatrick. We are offering weekly Wednesday evening sessions at 7:00 p.m. to listen and share. These sessions are available both in person in the conference room and on Zoom. Please contact any vestry member if you have questions, concerns or need information. The last page of the bulletin has a listing of all your vestry members. You can also call Jay Strong, Jr. Warden at 302-668- 7252 (Cell) or Jack Weir, Sr. Warden at 302-743-9890 (Cell). .

Christian Education Opportunity
We are hoping to provide both child care and Sunday School as an option for families on a weekly basis. To do this, we need your help. If you or someone you know is interested in a paid position as a nursery attendant from 9:45 to 11:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings, please contact us. We are also setting up a rotation of volunteers to teach Sunday School. With only 4 volunteers, we can have a weekly program with each person only serving once per month. If we have more volunteers, the time commitment is even less. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Cathy Cooling,Libby Green or Janice Itzel. Thank you!
