Cleaning-rotation schedule

Begins Sunday, March 5

 

If you were not yet able to submit a Membership Form last Sunday they are still available here by PDF. These forms will not only help us compile our cleaning rotation list, but also allow families to vote on any issues brought to the parish as a whole, as well as be included in our forthcoming parish directory! You can hand your printed form to Mariana anytime you are at church. Thank you so much!

Sunday School - starts Sunday, March 5

 

The Sunday of Orthodoxy is an excellent way to kick off Sunday School.

Please reach out to Crysta Mullis (336) 844-5391 with any questions.
