Today is the final Sunday to make contributions of any winter coats, hats, scarves and gloves (new OR used) you may have to our “Between the Holidays Coat Drive.” There is a designated box for such donations in the narthex. Men’s items will be given to the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission and women’s items will go to the Women’s Shelter. We have already amassed a wonderful collection of winter things to donate and we THANK YOU for your tremendous generosity in making this drive so successful!  

If you are able, please review the sign-up sheets in the Parish Hall for future openings for Coffee Hour sponsors and hosts and consider signing up for a Sunday; this makes our post-service fellowship very festive and delicious and we appreciate any and all help in this area!

Wednesdays at 10 a.m. in the Parish Hall – come join us on Wednesdays as we tackle the Book of Isaiah. Our Bible Study is always followed by a celebration of the Eucharist. ALL ARE WELCOME!! 

The evening Bible Study and Eucharist that takes place on Thursdays in the Parish Hall at 6:30 p.m. is currently engaged in reading the “Apocryphal” Book of the Wisdom of Solomon. All are welcome! 

FYI: Fr. Michael’s regular office hours are Tuesday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and any other time by appointment. Monday is his regular day off.

Peace and Blessings!
