Holy Innocents, San Francisco - A Place Where All Are Welcome

Summer e-Newsletter, July 26, 2014

This week’s birthday celebrations:
 Saturday, July 26 ~ Natalie Walrond
 
Watch over your children, O Lord, as their days increase. Bless them and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them where they stand. Comfort them when discouraged or lonely. Raise them up when they fall, and in their hearts, may your peace that passes all understanding, abide with them for ever.  In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Annual Congregational Retreat at Bishop's Ranch! 
We have dates for next year:  March 20-22! 
We had a wonderful time last year, and very much hope to bring more of the congregation up to Bishop's Ranch next year.  Please mark the weekend in your calendars! 

******************************************************
Sarah & Richard still need one more volunteer!

Sarah and Richard need more help in doing our weekly deposits!  The summer could be the perfect time to learn as we have just the one service.  Once trained, it takes about one hour on a Sunday afternoon (or even on a Monday or Tuesday) to count, copy, fill out spreadsheets and report to our bookkeeper, and then it takes just a few minutes out of your day to go to our bank for the actual deposit. They are looking for two official members of the congregation to assist in this task so that in a normal month of four Sundays, there would be one person for each Sunday.  See Sarah and Richard for more information!

A note from Tom & Sandy Dipko:
Our flower donation rota has some spaces: August 17 and 24, as well as September 14.  This is a lovely opportunity to honor or remember loved ones.  The sign up sheet is just outside the fellowship hall.
