In the adult class, Fr. Paul is discussing the Articles of Religion found in the back of the Book of Common Prayer starting on page 603.

After services we said good-bye to Taylor! He is moving to Alexandria, VA this week. We will miss him very much but, pray for a safe move and a blessed new home for him!
Taylor also brought TWO trays of his famous brown sugar and pepper bacon!!! Ymmm! Thank you, Taylor!!
In addition to the bacon, Team 4 brought meatballs with sandwich fixings, green beans with country ham, potato salad, apple bread, and a farewell cake for Taylor. Also, at Taylor's request, Fr. Paul brought his delicious beef stroganoff.
Thank you Team 4, Teresa, Fr. Mike, Nancy, Melinda, and Rosalind (plus Fr. Paul and Taylor) for all the delicious food.
