Do you sometimes feel as if you are out of the loop in the events of the church? Aside from

these weekly notices, the monthly Chronicles are filled with information about recent and

upcoming events. The bulletin boards in Lewis Hall have newsletters from St. Alban’s in

Arcata and St. Paul’s in Crescent City, all recent vestry meeting minutes, monthly financial

statements, as well as numerous and changing flyers and posters about the various outreach

activities of the parish. If you need still more information, ask any vestry person for help, and

they will be glad to comply.

Eucharistic Visitors If you are unable to come to worship on a regular basis and would like

communion brought to you on Sunday following our services, please call the parish office

Monday through Friday and request a Eucharistic Visitor.

The Altar flowers are given to the glory of God by Marian Marcellus in thanksgiving for

loving family and friends, and in loving memory of David and Bud.
