SUBSTITUTE SEXTON NEEDED FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 15
James Kent will be going on vacation soon. Would you be willing to shadow James on any of the following Sundays: July 25, August 1 or August 8? It’s a simple list of tasks and James could coach you in advance of the August 15 date you are needed. We will pay you for your time (7:30 a.m. through the hospitality that follows the 10 o’clock service, approximately 5 hours).
Please contact Connie Haggard if you are interested, 215-247-7466, ext. 116 or dhaggard@voicenet.com).
SUMMER PLEDGES
Pledge statements were mailed this past week. Expenses do not take a summer vacation. Please help the parish by making sure you are up to date on your pledge payments. We wish you the best of summers! Postscript: There’s much being planned for the upcoming program year – you won’t want to miss a thing!
