Rooted in the past, reaching for the future
Refreshments are served on Hoopes Court, weather permitting, following our summer Sunday services.

Inside Coffee Hours will resume in the Parish Center on September 5.
If you enjoy breakfast and conversation, you are encouraged to join the ROMEO’s on Thursday mornings, at 8:30AM, at North East Family Restaurant. There is no agenda, just a hearty breakfast and talk about fishing, hunting, hobbies, etc. Questions? Talk to Jim Siglow or Bill Weisel.
Last Saturday, June 19, 2021, Father John baptized Adelaide Craig, three-year-old daughter of Meghan and Timothy Craig.
Adelaide’s Godmother is Anne Gilbert Sandbek. She and her parents, 10AM parishioners Rich and Wendy Gilbert, mentored Meghan about the Christian faith, the Episcopal Church, and the importance of baptism. They encouraged Adelaide’s baptism, and the importance of having a church home. This family lives their baptismal covenant, by “proclaiming by word and example the Good News of God in Christ.”
Together, the Gilbert family and Adelaide’s family celebrated this special occasion!
On Tuesday, July 6, we will again provide bagged suppers for the Paris Foundation to distribute to their clients, the areas homeless community. We are looking for two volunteers to join Sarah Swoboda, Rosemary Albert, and Paula England in making both ten individually wrapped sandwiches and ten individually wrapped desserts for the meal. The sandwiches can be either ham and cheese on a roll or turkey and cheese on a roll – no mustard or mayo.
You can plan to drop them off at the Parish Center kitchen by 3:15 (or earlier in the day) on July 6. Wendy Gilbert and Cindy Hoffman will assemble the meals to deliver to Elkton. If you can help with this mission to the community, email Rick Waterhouse: wate6585@zoominternet.net
