Coffee Hour Video on Sept. 27-There are 3 new videos about Sacraments in the Episcopal Church. We will watch the first one on Sept. 27 titled, "Sacraments and Sacramental Rites." It is about 20 minutes long and we will have 10 minutes of discussion following the video. If you are new to the church, it is a great way to learn about some of our beliefs.
