Official Summer Changes

Dear Creator Family,

How quickly the year is passing! We are weeks away from “official summer,” school’s end, Father’s Day, and our annual Shrine Mont retreat. While all of these are significant, our attention turns more directly to Shrine Mont and the traditional timing shift that takes place over the Father’s Day weekend. 

It has been our parish tradition for many years to shift our 10:30 service time to 10:00 for the summer, allowing for cooler mornings and busier (or perhaps less busy!) afternoons. Mark your calendar for this year and set your alarm! Service start time will be 10:00 am beginning Sunday, June 22. In addition to this shift, we will also shift the 8:00 service to 8:30.

The suggestion to move the 8:00 to 8:30 has been considered every year. In the past, Creator held the early service at 8:30, and the change to 8:00 took place in response to parish size and need. This year, we will resurrect our former service time of 8:30 in response to similar requests in hopes to provide a more relaxed morning routine before gathering for worship.

Additionally, we plan to bring back the Creator Cafe after the 10:00 service for food and fellowship. 

For our Shrine Mont weekend services, we will be recording the service at Shrine Mont and emailing the link to all of you. Based on our past experience with very slow upload speeds there, the link will most likely arrive in your email box in the afternoon. If you would rather not wait, we will publish the link to the National Cathedral Sunday service in Creator calling. Check your Creator Calling in the weeks prior to our away weekend for the link.

I pray this summer will be a blessed time of relaxation and rest for everyone, or perhaps just a change of pace that will invigorate. I also pray we will see you lots and enjoy all that the Lord has provided in the fellowship of our Creator family.

Peace in Christ,
Fr. Bill+
