This is the 9th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 11). This month we are using an alternative Eucharistic prayer. Last Sunday there was an informal discussion about these prayers. In general, the congregation is accepting of these alternate rites. The inclusive language is a favorable change. We will be using these new prayers through the end of August.
Summer Sunday Fun-day continues this Sunday at 9am.
The Blood Drive is this Saturday at St. Thomas'. There is always a need for blood. You can donate at the church between 11am-2pm. For more information visit the RI Blood Center.
