Church Office Help
Hi All, As you likely know, our stalwart office volunteer June is in medical recovery. Rita Yeo and Joe Sparling have been gracious enough to help out with some of the office systems that we need to cover - thank you Rita and Joe! However, we could still use some help Thursday mornings to create some more standard office hours. If you would be open to being a welcoming presence Thursday mornings in the church office, dealing with a few emails, phone calls, and office mail, the whole St. A's community would be most grateful. Please let me know. Jonathan+

GATHERING ‘ROUND THE KITCHEN TABLEA Zoom Event - Thursday, January 13, 2022 Come and enjoy a relaxing time of conversation as we reflect together on excerpts from Barbara Brown Taylor ‘s best selling book, “Learning to Walk in the Dark”. With her characteristic charm, theological depth and literary wisdom, Taylor guides us through a spirituality of the nighttime, teaching us how to find our footing in times of uncertainty and giving us strength and hope to face the challenging moments that come our way. So bring your coffee and gather around the (virtual) kitchen table or perhaps just settle into a comfortable chair as we enjoy each other’s company, ponder a bit of scripture, and discuss Taylor’s insights. Please email Anne Wightman: wildrosie7@gmail.com for more information and/or to receive the handout for our second “Gathering” of 2022. |
