One service this Sunday, May 22nd is at 9:30am.
We will NOT stream our 9:30 service on Facebook LIVE this Sunday.
For next Sunday, May 29th, we will be celebrating Holy Eucharist (Communion) with the Rev. Beth Woodson as our Celebrant from St. Martin’s Episcopal in Copperas Cove. We may be streaming the service on Facebook LIVE. An update on this will be sent next week.
Sundays will be Morning Prayer if we do not have a guest Celebrant.
We will have Communion when we have a guest Celebrant/Interim Priest.
The 9:30 service is Morning Prayer, Rite Two. A contemporary and family service. We still use the Hymnal 1982 and Songs of Praise for our music.
Our services are in-person for all. We have plenty of room and we also will have the nursery open for ages under 5. If the nursery is closed due to unavailability of attendants, a sign will be posted.
We have Sunday School/Children’s church for ages 5-12 during the service. There are also coloring/activity Sunday School sets with crayons for your child to use while in church with you. We encourage you to bring your young children and celebrate the Easter Season with us!
**Sunday, June 5th!! Pentecost Parish Picnic! Come to our celebration of Pentecost! We will provide the hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixings! Please bring your kids, a side dish, and a chair or blanket. Most activities will be outside. We will have tents set up and games for kids and adults! Prizes in several categories and goodie bags will be given out. Come dressed in your best RED outfit! It is casual for the Sunday service so you won’t have to change for the picnic. Everyone is invited to come! You may sign up on the bulletin board for a side dish/dessert to share.
