Dear Parish Family,
As school resumes and summer draws to a close, we are set here at SRCA to begin a new program year. Sunday School returns for our children on Sunday, September 11. Our First Thursday Bible Study begins at 7:30 on Sept. 8 (yes, that is the second Monday – we wanted to wait until after Labor Day). This study will connect our current mission, vision, and core values to the Scriptures as we examine what SRCA is called to do and be. Every member is encouraged to participate in this study, as it will help us understand God's call to us as a church. The Women's Monday morning Bible Study begins again on Sept. 12 at 9:30. It will meet at Melinda Mansfield's home, and the topic of the study will be determined that first day. Moms with young children are welcome (as are all women – SRCA members or not). Our Men's studies and home groups continue, and are noted elsewhere in this bulletin. Our youth Bible study fro those in grades 6-12 begins again on Sunday, Sept. 11 at 5:00. It is our goal to have every adult member of our church participate in some sort of small group. Please consider joining in the fun!
A full calendar of events, studies, and opportunities to serve will be published in the near future. Please be sure to pick up your copy.
I also encourage everyone to attend our old/new bishop's investiture as the first bishop of the new Diocese of the Mid Atlantic. This is a truly historic occasion in the life of our church. The Right Reverend John Guernsey invites us all to join him for a glorious celebration at 11:00, Sept. 10, at Truro Church.
Our lessons for today include Exodus 12:1-14, Psalm 149, Romans 13:8-14, and Matthew 18:15-20. We are so blessed to be able to come together freely to worship the Lord. Welcome!
Faithfully,
Becki+
