This Week at Holy Family

SPECIAL MUSIC We are grateful to Morag Smith, William and Sarah Parkes who will be playing music outside after church for St. Patrick’s Day. This has become somewhat of a tradition and is always a treat! You can also hear them play as part of Order of the Thistle Pipes and Drums at the Boxcar Sunday at 1 and 4 pm. Thank you manager Jay for coordinating!

If you are giving in memory or gratitude for someone or something, please include a printed note (available on the front table) with the words to be included in the Easter insert. All donations must be received by March 24. Thank you!

SUNDAY SNACKS Thank you to all who generously stepped up to serve as hosts for hospitality hour. There are still openings in April. It need not be elaborate. A few dozen cookies will do. See the signup on the bulletin board.

UTO distributes 100% of these funds to innovative mission and ministry throughout the Episcopal Church and Provinces of the Anglican Communion. Please bring all UTO donations to the church March 31 or April 7.
