Parish Announcements

The huge units for cooling the parish hall were lifted to the roof of the parish hall already. Work on those will be completed September 2nd.
The mini-split in the Library and the one in the Nursery are up and running!
Big thanks to Matt at Dependable Heating and Cooling (915-238-6877) and to the Robert E. McKee and Evelyn McKee Foundation for the grant that is making this job possible.
As an aside, once we called Matt, he was immediately out to look at the job, he gave us a bid within a day or two, and he started the job ASAP.

Our Holy Water dispenser is located in the foyer. We will soon order more Holy Water bottles that you can fill and take home for personal use and bring back anytime to refill.
Please, when you can, reuse the ones you have. Of course, if you forget to bring an empty ones to church with you, by all means get a new one if you need to do so. Just know that each bottle can be refilled with more Holy Water.

We are now using real homemade bread for communion on a trial basis. We will still be using the gluten free wafers for some of you who want them.
A message to the fastidious: There may be crumbs from the consecrated bread, the Body of Christ. However, as a great Bishop and theologian once said: "If the Holy Spirit had the good sense to get into the bread in the first place, the Holy Spirit will have the good sense to get out."
-
