Greetings!
Welcome once again to the Bell Tower! We kicked off this new design yesterday with the Holy Week recap email. Thank you to all who took a few minutes to report how much you like the new "look and feel" of the parish communications. A great deal of work has gone into these efforts; it's gratifying to hear that work is paying off.
We now turn from an amazing Holy Week and Easter to celebrating the winner of the Golden Halo, getting into Book Club, and more of the opportunities for fellowship that bring us into community.
Director of Administration
P.S. Please note that the Church Office is closed this week and there will be no Eventide service or supper tonight, nor any choir rehearsal on Thursday.
