Ceiling fans in the nave: Questions have been asked about using the ceiling fans in the nave during the summer months. Because they force the warm air that collects near the top of the nave downward, it negatively impacts the effectiveness of the air conditioning. Accordingly, the recommendation has been made to leave them off.
Morning Prayer | Monday–Friday 8:30 a.m.
In-Person & Zoom
The Funeral of Helen Head
Helen Head's funeral was last Saturday, July 19. A few people asked for a copy of the non-eulogy that Helen wrote. Helen's son David sent the file, along with the photo montage they made for her reception. Below are the links to the recording of the service and the document.
The Head family sends their thanks to the Parish for all the love and friendship bestowed upon Helen and Harold over their many years at Grace.

The Saint John's Bible Returns
It was such a wonderful experience having The Gospels and Book of Acts with us. In mid-September, The Pentateuch volume of the Saint John's Bible will be arriving and staying with us up until Christmas. We are hoping that some of our parishioners might like to be involved with this second "visit". Please let Joanne Robblee know if you want to volunteer and attend an initial planning meeting.
If you have questions, please contact Joanne Robblee at joannerobblee@gmail.com.
