Upcoming Baptism Date
A summer baptism date has been added for Sunday, Sept 4, at the 9:30 service. Please contact the parish office as soon as possible if you are interested in this date. The next service for Holy Baptism will be on All Saints' Sunday, November 6th.
Lemonade Hour
Please sign up for a Summer Sunday and be a host or hostess. All you have to do is bring a small treat as the lemonade is provided by the church. The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board outside of the kitchen door. Weather permitting, Lemonade Hour will take place outside in the front courtyard so we can all enjoy the new landscaping!
Plant-Waterers Needed
Help us to keep our new plantings alive and well. Please volunteer to water the plants. A sign-up sheet is posted outside of parish hall. For more details, please contact Beirne Donaldson at 973-543-2633 (home) or 973-476-0410 (cell).
Grass-Cutters Needed
Please help us save over $3,000 this summer, by volunteering your time to cut the grass. We are in need of weekly volunteers. You can cut the grass any day of the week, as long as it is cut by Sunday in preparation for the Sunday services. A sign-up sheet is located on the bulletin board in the hallway near parish hall. For more information, please contact Beirne Donaldson at 973-543-2633 (home) or 973-476-0410 (cell).
