Happenings

Dear Creator Family,
There are so many wonderful happenings around our parish!

• Our Clean Up Day went extremely well and has paved the way to near ‘total order’ for our parish facility.
• We will have a new (larger! More visible!) church sign installed next month.
• Our grounds are on the way (after last Saturday) to a level of “tended-ness” we have not had in years.
• The Parish Hall is now empty of stored items--except for a piano or two. (Anyone want a piano? Anyone want to move a piano?)
• We are talking with possible renters for our parish hall space.
• We have contracted to fix the water main.

​Worship: Our regular service schedule returns on Sunday, September 11th with 8:00 am Holy Eucharist Rt II, 9:30-10:15 Christian Education, 10:30 am Holy Eucharist Rt II.

Christian Education: We will finish our last four sessions of Sacred Ground and begin our new program in October. If you have an interest or suggestion, please see Fr. Bill. Also, please consider this your season for spiritual growth and renewal. Our programs are part of our parish ministry, and our ministry is what holds us together and keeps us growing. Look for upcoming announcements for October CE.

Fellowship: So much happening, and plenty of opportunities to participate and help our parish GROW! This Sunday is “Bring a Friend to Church” Sunday!! So, bring a friend to Church! In reality, bringing someone to Church is the most assured way of Church growth; no other method even comes close. We remember what our Lord constantly taught--it’s not about how much we have participated, but how much we are participating in our community that counts!

Service: A healthy parish gives – in treasure, talent, and time. Our “stew weekends,” as they are affectionately called, require the gift of time from many so that too few are not burdened by the effort of this critical fundraiser. There are many jobs, big and small, so don’t think you can’t help, or let “I’ve never done that before” stop you. Katherine Earls is finalizing dates and will have those in print soon. Please mark your calendar for our 2nd and final “Clean Up Day” of the season: November 12. Pretty remarkable we can make up for 2 ½ years in 2 Saturdays, but with your help, that’s looking more possible every day.

Thanks be to God and to the giving people of Creator!

Peace in Christ,
Fr. Bill+
