Eucharist at Cedarfield: Second Thursday of the Month at 2pm
All Saints, St. Mary's, St. Matthew's, St. Stephen's, and St James' will be collaborating to offer a monthly Eucharist at Cedarfield in the Fellowship Hall. These services will take place on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 2:00p. We are excited about this effort to augment the spiritual life of Cedarfield residents. All are welcome, not just Episcopalians (and not just the members of that month's priest's parish!).
Are You OK?
Our Congregational Care Team wants you to contact a member of the team, Winston, or Ben+ if you or someone you love needs pastoral care or attention. As a community of Saints and friends, we believe in the power of prayer and being there to support you during challenging times. If you are ill, having surgery, hospitalized, mourning, or just struggling with something, please do not hesitate to reach out to the church office. We are here to bring you a meal, extend a helping hand, lend an attentive ear, and offer prayers. We want you to be OK, and help in any way we can.
Bunco Game Night: Second Tuesday of Each Month
Join us in the library on the second Tuesday of each month for a fun evening of bunco! Bring a friend, a snack to share, and $5 for the prize pot. Email the church office with any questions.
Interested in Becoming an Acolyte?
We are looking for youth (5th grade and up) to join our Acolyte team this Fall! Training is provided and scheduling is flexible, working around choir, sports, vacations, etc. Acolytes are an integral part of our worship service and your youth will gain unique experience and form church friendships. Please contact the church office if you have any questions or are interested in learning more.
Ushers Needed!
We are looking for volunteers to join our usher team for our Sunday services. Ushers play a crucial role in welcoming and assisting members and visitors to our church.
