THE FOURTH SUNDAY after PENTECOST

July 6, 2025

OUR NEW HVAC SYSTEM IS UP AND RUNNING, thanks to the good efforts of Jim Aaron and his crew at Total Comfort! The new system has some amazing features and will be a huge improvement over its predecessor. Note the new units in the side aisles, the extra unit in the Choir area (John Sabine is SO happy!), and the outdoor units beside the Rector’s parking space! Much of the cost of our new system is being covered by a generous gift from the Michael G. Callas Charitable Trust. In addition, we still need your support. Your gift – in any amount – will be matched by additional funds from the Callas Trust. So, please consider a contribution. Meanwhile, let us all give thanks to God for the blessing of this important improvement to our beloved Church!

WE HAVE A MUSICAL TREAT TODAY at our 10:15 a.m. service! The Weibels – Jason, Rebecca, and Rhys – will be playing selections from their bagpipes. Look for them at the Prelude, the Offertory, and the Postlude. A big thank-you to all three of them for sharing their talent with us this morning.

OUR SUMMER “PICK-UP CHOIR” CONTINUES while our full Parish Choir is on break. If you’d like to sing, just meet John Sabine in the Choir Room any Sunday at 9:45 a.m. No vestments, no long-term commitments – just the joy of singing God’s praises. Come when you can!
