The St. Cecelia Choir Needs You
It has been said that “those who sing pray twice.”
If you like to sing, please consider joining the choir.
Rehearsals will be on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM.
(Yes, you may bring your coffee!)
We are fortunate to have an excellent teacher leading us!

The Bottom of the B arrel
...is not something we want to see. As your circumstances permit, please continue to bring food for the food pantry. Food insecurity is a growing concern for many people right now.
Mother Karen shared with the Deanery clergy that demand at the food pantry is way up. All Saints has been a generous supplier, and hope we can continue to be.
