New Foyer
Groups Begin in August.
Foyer groups are an easy and enjoyable way for parishioners to get to know
one another – especially newcomers and folks who go to different services –
in an informal social setting. Once each month, over a four month period,
group members meet at one another’s home or at a restaurant for a simple
dinner, to get to know each other. Each time groups are reassigned to meet
new people. The new groups are listed on the bulletin board by the parish
office.
The 2010 Altar Flower,
Altar Supply and Altar Candle sign up sheets are posted. Please sign up on the
bulletin board by the elevator for your Sunday to provide altar flowers.
These are filled on a first come, first serve basis so if you have a date
that has special meaning to you, sign up early!! We 2 openings, September
5th and September 19th on the calendar! Please sign up on the bulletin board
or contact the parish office at 424-0556.
