Parish Council and our combined Councils met August 12. We discussed the joint services held in July and August. We are pleased with the attendance so far and the congregation’s willingness to try new worship opportunities. Our combined councils decided to continue our experiment into September and October with one small change--services will now be at 9 a.m. We wanted to try this new time to better suit those who missed the 8:30 service. September services will be at Christ and October services at Trinity.
 
Parish Council met August 13 with our new part-time interim pastor Deacon Gary Schaeffer. He is currently serving as part-time interim at St. Marks in Shamokin Dam and will continue in that role along with serving our Parish. He will begin September 1 and will work with our councils and committees, provide pastoral services such as hospital visits, lead some Wednesday afternoon services, and lead Sunday worship services once a month on the fourth Sunday of each month. Deacon Gary will be establishing regular office hours and will be starting weekly Bible studies. His first Sunday service with us will be 9 a.m. Sunday, September 22, at Christ.

Blessings,

Don Fisher
