Over the past summer weeks, the Sunday collections have been down. Your weekly support even if you are not here on any given Sunday is very important. Bills need to be paid. Please remember to bring your offerings for those Sundays missed whenyou return toChurch.

Sunday, Sept. 17  Parish Picnic weather permitting on church grounds. We are asking the men of the church to help with setting up chairs and tables outside for this event.

Sunday, Sept. 24 Annual Parish Meeting---It is very important for all parishioners and those people who are not official members, but attend services regularly, to make an effort to attend this meeting. People are needed to serve on the Church council. It is important for able members of the parish to serve on the administrative board of the Church or at least volunteer to assist the members of the board.  Learn what it takes to keep the Church functioning well.  Everyones input into matters concerning our Church is welcomed. Please see Barbara Driscoll if you are interested.

Oct. 27, 28, and 29 Troika Fair----This is the most important fundraiser. Much depends on the success of this event. Everyone in the Parish should help in some way to make this a success.

Dec. 25 Christmas Concert under the direction of Irina Lvovsky after coffee hour.

Please mark the dates of these events on your calendar.
