Fifth Annual Fish Fry
On Friday, March 27, we’ll have our fifth annual fish fry at the rectory. There will be Evening Prayer (Vespers) at 5 PM with dinner starting at 6 PM. Plans have been made to have quite a delicious fish dinner with outstanding side dishes, vino, soft drinks, and, of course, dessert! The best part will be sharing it with each other.
Please let us know if you can make it so we can order the right amount of food. You can RSVP below or on the attendee sign-up sheet in the back of the church. If you are able to, we’d ask you to contribute either online or at the door to defray the costs and support our social gatherings. (Suggested contribution is $20.)
Friday Evening Prayer at 5 PM
Please download the worship aid to participate in Friday’s evening prayer, which will begin at 5 PM.
