Reminders

by Fr. Bill Van Oss

Be sure to remember that we are moving to two Sunday services beginning this Sunday, October 31. They will be at 8:00 and 10:30 am. We also have the 5:00 pm Saturday service. Social hour follows the 5:00 Saturday service and coffee hour after the 10:30 on Sunday. If you would like to sign up to host social or coffee hour, the sign up sheet is on the bulletin board outside the kitchen.


This Wednesday’s Prayer and Potluck prayer service will be a service of remembrance for those who have died in the past year. You will be invited to light a candle in memory of your loved one. The service begins at 6:00 pm and is followed by a potluck. Brats will be provided. Please bring a side dish if you are able and remember to bring your own plates and utensils.


On Saturday, November 6th at 1:00 pm in the parish hall we will be having a simple shell project called “Co-creating Something Beautiful Out of Brokenness.” This is more than just a craft project. It is a chance to “come-connect-laugh-heal.” Details can be found on the website or in the most recent edition of the Red Door.

 

Finally, I highly encourage you to get your COVID vaccine booster. Shots are widely available for all three vaccines. Contact Wendy Warner, our parish nurse, if you have any questions. Our Angels on the Go are available for rides if you need one.


Peace & Blessings,

Moving Forward Updates from Fr. Bill

Hope Rising Update #72

Today's Excitement Dear Friends, Today was a day to celebrate! LCEC trucks arrived to install the new meter and energize it so the new HVAC system in the sanctuary can be started up! Then a couple hours later, we passed the City of Sanibel final inspection and we were given the Certificate of Completion; the final step in our permit process which started last May. We are very grateful to Councilwoman Holly Smith, City Manager Dana Souza and all the city and LCEC employees who assisted in these final steps and of course to all the FP workers and their subs for all their hard work these past several months and the Property Restoration Team; the working group was there to receive the good news today. We are very busy getting the spaces ready for opening weekend starting with our 4th Advent services this Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 8am and 10:30am (livestreamed). Then we will have 3 Christmas Services at 4pm, 8pm (livestreamed) and 10:30am. Thanks to the volunteer teams who have been washing dishes in the kitchen, putting books on the bookshelf, hanging wreaths and a 100 other details. It is a stunningly beautiful space and we can't wait for all to experience it again for the first time in 15 months! Bill +
