Service Dear Friends: As this is my last bulletin article, I want to review the many things that have been done these past seven and half years. In the rectory: new kitchen installed. In the parish hall: new kitchen, painted hall & kitchen, replaced carpet, replaced flooring in the restrooms, installed new furnace & air conditioners. Inside the church: renovated the choir loft and installed new pews. Outside of the church: paved the north parking lot and sealed and maintained bricks. We have witnessed births, deaths, first communions, confirmations, and marriages. We have seen each other grow in the knowledge and love of Christ. The flowers on the altar this weekend are in memory of Joe Smitley. On behalf of St. Mary’s , I welcome Fr. Augustine Koomson to our parish and wish you many blessings in the future. Fr. Michael B.

Our VBS was a great success this year thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers and contributors! We collected many goodies for The Summer Backpack Program making our VBS mission project a success! The kids loved the Camp Discovery theme and the great crafts, games, and bible stories that went along with it. Massive thanks go out to Jim and Debby Montgomery and Keith and Ashlee Crouch for getting us tree cookies- the kids loved making fun keepsakes that tied in with the day's bible story! A very special thanks to our volunteers: Danielle Burress, Ashlee Crouch, Michelle Gorrell, Teresa Gorrell, Alison Medsker, Pat Morrison, and Diana Thompson And our junior volunteers: Meredith Brown, Nick Brown, Anna Gorrell, Ebony Hewitt, Logan Medsker, Lily Pearce and Cheyenne Tingley We had a blast this year thanks to our wonderful parish! We missed our friends who couldn't be here but can't wait for next year with them. As always I am humbled to be a part of this wonderful program. Thank you again and enjoy the rest of the summer!—Leah Guillemette
