New Bulletin, New Format, Same ole Jesus!

December 1st is the first Sunday of Advent: With it being the beginning of the Church year, we'll make a few changes. The bulletin will be in a 
different format and, in advance, we welcome your feedback. We will also go from reading the full list of names during the prayers of the people to inviting anyone present to speak names of those they want to offer prayers for.

​

Christmas Pageant

We are tentatively scheduling a joint Christmas Pageant with Church of the Good Shepherd to be held at Good Shepherd following coffee hour on  December 22nd.

​​​​

Wreath-Making!

Our second annual Advent wreath-making workshop will be during coffee hour on December 1st. Prepare to bring greenery from your yard!

Let Fr. Steve know if you'll be reusing a frame from last year, so he'll know how many to purchase.

​

Clean-up Crew

The biweekly Clean Crew is looking for additional volunteers. If you are interested, please speak with John Connelly.

​​

Defibrillator and First Aid Training

Anyone interested in training on how to use a defibrillator and perform basic first aid should speak with Fr. Steve. This training is open to everyone, including non-parishioners. Once we have an estimated number of participants, a date and time will be scheduled.

​

​Altar Flowers

If you would like to purchase the altar flowers for a specific Sunday, please place your name on the signup sheet in the cloak room. Checks should be made out to Saint Bartholomew Episcopal Church with “altar flowers” on the memo line. The suggested donation is $40.  The Vestry also encourages contributions to a "Flower Fund."   Donations in an amount of your choice to the Flower Fund will help to create a committed source of funds for altar flowers for those Sundays when no one has dedicated flowers.  Please see Treasurer Jack Rendlesham for more information.
