This is the 11th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 16). Last Sunday we gave away 50 backpacks filled with school supplies! Next Sunday we will give away a few more. You can view some photos by looking at the Facebook link on the right of this page. Thanks to all who donated, shopped, stuffed and distributed the backpacks.
This Saturday, August 26, the WARM Center is sponsoring the Seagull Plunge. The event will be held at the Andrea Hotel at Misquamicut beginning at 5pm and the cost is $15. Visit the WARM website for more information.
Church School will start on September 14- Welcome Back Sunday. We will have one church school class for students in grades preK-6. This year we will also have a confirmation class. Anyone who is at least 15 years old and sign up for this class. If you have been confirmed in another denomination and would like to be received into the Episcopal Church, you can also participate in these classes. Speak to the vicar if you are interested.
Save the Date!! On Saturday, Oct. 4 at 4pm we will have a special service - Blessing of the Animals. This celebration will be in honor of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis was known to have a love of the natural world and of creation; countless legends are told about him that attest to his special relationship with animals. More details will follow next month. The raindate is Oct. 5.
