Future Fellowship Events
Let's take time to gather together!
Thursday evening Summer Music in Greystone Park 6:30 to 8:00 pm
Every Thursday in July there will again be free Music in Greystone Park for everyone in the community to enjoy. The music begins at 6:30, bring a chair or blanket, some food or picnic dinner for yourself and meet up with others from ECA to enjoy the sounds of summertime. Look for us and we can sit all together as a group.
If you have an idea or suggestion for a future fellowship event please let Wendy, Susanne or Ellen know.

Update on our Rector Search
The Transition team is continuing their work in our search process. The team, after reviewing the possible candidates, feel it is necessary to repost our opening to increase the number of applicants. The decision was made to list the position as a "Rector" position so that we may have an increased interest and response. The posting is open and will run for one month.

Here is a direct link to our weekly “An Episcopal Sermon” podcast.
Each weekly podcast episode is a live recording of the Gospel reading followed by the sermon based on that reading from our Sunday services. A new episode is posted on our website every Monday (in case you missed it on Sunday). This podcast provides thought provoking messages that can be listened to anywhere at anytime.
Enjoy!
