Sunday Coffee Hour Forum and Conversation Returns
Sundays in June, July, and August
In the Parish Hall following Sunday’s 10 o’clock worship.
Father Greg will lead a forum and discussion on the development of the Nicene Creed in regards to its origins, how understandings of it have evolved, and, more importantly, what may have gotten lost in that process through either translation or transition.
Amplified notes from these sessions are available for reading here:

In addition to receiving reports on the life of the parish over the course of the last year, we will be electing people to the Vestry and entrusting them with ministry of leadership. This year we will be receiving nominations for both a Warden and a Vestry Chair. Each term is three years and entails meeting about once a month - predominantly on a Sunday following Coffee Hour. We will be also entertaining nominations to elect two Diocesan Delegates (and two Alternates) to represent the parish at the Diocesan Annual Convention. This year’s Convention will meet at the Diocesan Center in Greenwich starting with dinner on Thursday, October 9 followed up by communal workshops and activities on Friday, October 10, and wrap up with the actual “business” of Convention on Saturday, October 11. All costs for the Delegation will be covered by St. Sacrement.

Recognition is not only a celebration and honor for our church proper, it also is a act of good stewardship as it assures future generations unique opportunities to seek grants helping to preserve the beauty and integrity of our much beloved church.
