The reconstruction of our ramp entrance is now under way!!!  The entry is presently inaccessible. Instead, you will need to walk across the lawn behind the Parish Hall and enter through the east door which will be kept open when events, including office hours, are taking place. If walking is difficult for you, a vehicle may drive in at the east end of the building, passing the Prince Room chimney, giving you easy access to the door. Under no circumstances is anyone to drive around the rear of the Parish Hall, which would entail going over our septic tank which might not support the weight of a vehicle!!! If you have a key to the building and are here at off hours, you will need to use the main front door of the church.

In spite of the rain the Backyard Barbecue Bluegrass Bash was a success! Great food and entertainment was enjoyed by all in attendance.  Thank you to ALL who helped with setup, cooking, and a great job on clean up (an extra thank you from Debra).

Clothing and fabric household goods only (linens, towels, curtains, etc.) Sign up sheets are in the Parish Hall to assist with sorting and sale days.

Calling all lovers of homemade jams, jellies, pickles, etc. Sandwich Fair is coming up the first weekend of October.
