Sunday morning Bible Study
This in-person Bible Study is held on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month at 10am in the parish hall. The Sunday Gospel readings are studied using Lectio Divina as our guide. You don't need to be a Bible scholar to attend. Simply bring a Bible and listen in to hear what God is speaking to you. Everyone is welcome. Feel free to bring something to share; coffee will be available.
acolyte training
Our Acolyte Ministry is designed for parishioners from 8 years of age to adult. Acolytes serve on the altar every Sunday on a rotational basis; as well as at the request of the Rector at special services such as weddings and funerals. The parishioners who serve in this special ministry put a great deal of time and energy into learning what it means to serve God at his table and in his church.
The Acolytes believe that their ministry extends beyond our church walls. Each Acolyte strives to live the lessons taught in the program and be a Good Christian model each and every day.
If you are interested, please contact Gary W. Neddo at the church on Sundays or at home at 315-350-0956.
