EVENTS
Come Help Make Chrismons for Our Trees for Advent Saturdays in August
Chrismons are ornaments made of white and gold that are symbols of Christ and the meaning of Advent that will be used for decorating our sanctuary trees for Advent. Chrismon means Christ Monogram.
We want them to be lovely and durable, so we are using materials that will last for many years. If you like to embroider, needlepoint, do beadwork, paint on wood, or otherwise craft with long-lasting materials, please consider joining us.
We have some patterns and a variety of materials/supplies to begin this project, but you are welcome to use others as you wish.
We will meet on Saturdays in August in the fellowship hall.
-
August 1st and 8th from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
-
August 15th and 22nd from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
There is no requirement to attend all four sessions. Come as you are able. We will have more get-togethers later, dates and times to be determined.
For questions, contact Paula Baen by calling her at (832) 289-9842 or emailing her at paularupp57@gmail.com.
This is a link to some photos of Chrismons gathered from the web - simply for ideas.
Pasta with the Priest
Sunday, August 16th, at 5:00 p.m.
Fr. Doug has teamed up with Michelle Markert to offer a relaxed time for youth to ask him questions about faith and the Church, or anything else concerning spirituality. Michelle will provide a wonderful pasta meal, while Fr. Doug will offer answers to the kids' questions.
Walk in Love Course
Begins Sunday, August 16th
Fr. Doug will offer the Walk In Love course by Rev. Scott Gunn and Rev. Melody Shobe as a five-week class in preparation for confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church, or for reaffirmation of your faith if you've already been confirmed or received. Bishop David Read will be with us on Sunday, September 20th, for our annual bishop's visit. He will confirm and receive people during the service, as well as bless those who wish to reaffirm their faith. Everyone is welcome to attend the sessions. At the end of the course, those who participated will be given the opportunity to decide if they would like to be confirmed, be received, or renew their faith during the service. Please sign up for the course on the back of your Connection Card, or call the office at (361) 994-0285.
