Holy Eucharist and Parish Picnic at Cove Island

The pavilion at Cove Island Park has been reserved for us for our annual parish picnic – rain or shine. The day will begin at 10:30 a.m. with Eucharist and music. When our service is completed, the grills will be fired up, the food will be set out (please bring a favorite dish to share and compliment the meats provided by our parish) and the festivities and fun will begin. Bathroom facilities are available at the pavilion as well as a playground just a few feet away, not to mention the beautiful ocean for our swimming pleasure. Parking permits are required. Stamford residences should purchase their own stickers for their cars. Out-of-towners can purchase a ticket from us at $15.00 per automobile. If you park without a sticker or a permit, it will cost you $20.00 for the day. We will arrange carpools from the church so that no one will have to pay who does not want to. For questions answered, reservations and parking permits, call Sandie on ext. 10. Saturday, July 18 ~ 5:00 p.m. and Sunday morning 8:00 a.m. worship services will be held in the church proper.

Get a taste of all 66 Books in the Bible

Beginning with Genesis this Wednesday (May 6) we will read one passage from that biblical book and get a taste for what Genesis has to offer. The next week we'll be on to Exodus. Over the next year and a quarter Mother Julia and Fr. Jim will take us through a taste of the Holy Bible. What a great way to start your day and get through the mid-week blah's. Holy Communion and healing prayers in the chapel and a continental breakfast to follow in the dining room every Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m.
