Happy Friday faith family! I hope this finds you all well. See the Carpenter’s Helper newsletter for the week of December 13, 2020. In it you will find a Christmas message from Bishop Curry, see a reminder of the Walk/Drive Through Communion and Prayers (yes, this is still being offered though no in-person worship), and the dates for one of our loved traditions, Lessons and Carols (2 this year!). SO, as a reminder: in-person worship has been suspended for this time, and all worship will be offered online.
This week, we continue the busy Advent season, preparing our hearts and minds for the arrival of our Savior. Please see the 2020 Advent and Christmas Schedule. This should be the schedule, however it is subject to change. We have to be especially flexible this year because of the pandemic. If there are any changes, I will be sure to let you know via email and the usual social media channels. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
