The Rector's Desk
Do not be anxious about anything, but in eery situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6).
What an experience it was for most if not all of us last Sunday as our young people led us in worship during the Liturgy of the Word. We have quite a bit of hidden talent that needs to be encouraged and developed. We thank the young people and the adults who helped them. Again we apologize for "spoiling" the sunday worship of some members. We thank those who rearranged the worship space immediately after the service.
Rescheduling Meetings
Fr. Davidson needs our cooperation if we wish to reschedule a meeting on Monday or Wednesday between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Fr. Davidson schedules interviews and pastoral counseling either before or after Prayer Meetings on Monday. He may also schedule interviews and pastoral counseling on Wednesday. He schedules events when there is no Bible Study. As a courtesy, please call Fr. Davidson to verify if he has anything scheduled.
