Sunday, February 9th, 2020: The Renewal of Wedding Vows
Are you thrilled to still be married to the love of your life even after all these years? Is your spouse the most important person in your life and you rarely tell him/her? Are you looking for a special way to commemorate your anniversary? Well, have we got a treat for you! After each worship Service, there will be a service where you can renew your vows before God. We will renew vows immediately after the worship service. We will re-state our vows, listen to an appropriate scripture and then have the opportunity to embrace and or kiss your partner. We will seal the deal with a gift to commemorate the occasion. So be sure to come to either service on February 9th, the Sunday before Valentine’s Day.
Dessert & Discussion with the Three Junction Clergy
Wednesday, January 22nd @ 7-8:30pm – Holy Family Fellowship Hall (near Summit Street School )
Have you ever wondered what Catholics think about the afterlife or homosexuality? Or have you ever wanted to know how Episcopalians walk the tight rope between Catholic like practices in worship and the Protestant’s or how our shared story grounded in the English Reformation departed from one another? How do Father Charlie of Holy Family, Priest Kim Hardy and Rev. Mendes differ in how they spend their days and appropriate the Christian faith into their particular tradition? And wouldn’t it be fun to observe Father Charlie and Rev. Mark disagreeing over some deep theological issue? Well, you have that opportunity at the Holy Family Fellowship Hall by the Summit Street School. Each clergy will have some opening statements and then most of the time will be saved for questions and answers. So come, bring a friend and your toughest questions.

Sunday, December 15th, 2019 – A Healing Service
The Christmas season often brings a mixture of profound joy and a deep sense of grief: joy at the wonder in our youngster’s eyes and sadness that those we dearly love who are far away or no longer with us. Emotions are more poignant all around with struggles in relationships, addictions, depression and financial worries taking on even more meaning. Our church would like to offer you a quiet hour where you can focus your attention on our need for hope and healing. The service will start at 7:00 p.m. and everyone is welcome.

The Searchers Invite Dr. Kathy Fox to Speak

The Wednesday Night searchers will be hosting Dr. Kathy Fox from UVM to speak about why our society should be strongly encouraging our prison population to get a college education. Dr. Fox is from the Sociology Department of UVM and has spoken extensively on the subject and clearly spells out how spending money educating prisoners saves money in the long run and creates a stronger society. Dr. Fox also speaks about how educating our prisoners fulfills a spiritual role of their lives. Her presentation and Q&A has been very well received. The public is invited so feel free to invite a friend.
Sunday, November 24th, 2019: Christ the King Day
Reformation/Bible Sunday: October 27th, 2019
Reformation / Bible Sunday
Reformation Sunday remembers and celebrates our roots in the Protestant Reformation and its emphasis on allowing the word of God found in the scriptures to be front and center in our faith. Bibles were translated into native tongues and for the first time in the history of the church, every day people could read and try to understand the message that Jesus was bringing to the world. We celebrate that tradition by giving bibles out to our 3rd graders during each worship service. If you are older than 3rd grade and have not received your bible, tell Rev. Mark or Rev. Josh or Laurie and we will make sure you get one today.
