To a 'get to know you' gathering with  
Father Mark Sutherland
and Al Marcetti

 

The New Rector Welcome Committee is pleased to announce a series of small gatherings where parishioners can get to know Mark and Al. A variety of dates are available this summer and fall. We will gather at parishioner's homes and at church for summer barbeques. Please call or email the church to reserve a date and location that suits you. 

 

The Welcome Committee and Vestry extend a 'hearty thanks' to all who have offered their homes for these gatherings.

Summer Bulletin
As a summer experiment, and also to save paper, we will be using a reduced version of the bulletin for July and August. Because of this, some reading text is not included. Readers please remember to click on the Lectionary link above for that text.
 
Please send your thoughts/comments on this new format to Deborah at dbshara@stmartinsprov.org.

Morning Prayer

It is my practice to endeavor to say Morning Prayer in the Chapel of the Church on Tuesday -Friday each week at 9am.
I would be interested in knowing of anyone who would like to join me. Morning Prayer takes about 25 minutes. 

 

I would also like to hear from those of you working downtown, which I believe is referred to as downcity here, who might be interested in saying Evening Prayer and or celebrating Eucharist at least one evening a week at around 5.30PM.

 

Please email me with your thoughts.  

 

Best wishes.
