On Sunday, December 6th, Holy Family celebrated the Feast Day of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of sailors and those in need, particularly children. St. Nick shared stories of his life with Junior Warden and long-time Sunday school teacher, Bob Murray, during Holy Family’s 9 AM worship service Facebook watch party. Father Bruce continued the conversation about the beloved bishop during 10 AM Adult Forum. Finally, Holy Family’s children were surprised by a visit from St. Nick during their weekly Children’s Ministry Zoom gathering where they learned more from him and shared the passing of the Peace.

On Sunday, October 4th, Holy Family resumed in-person worship following many months of participating solely in virtual worship through prepared video services. The outdoor services were broadcast over AM radio in the parking lot and featured the blessing of the animals in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Despite the rain, participants joyously honked their car horns during the sign of peace and waved to maintain social distancing protocols. For more information about worship at Holy Family, please contact Father Bruce Gray.

Welcome, New Daughters of the King
Early this spring, four women embarked on a journey like no other. Through a national study with time for prayer and reflection, these women prepared themselves, during a pandemic, for membership into The Order of the Daughters of the King. This process was also unique as they met online through Zoom to learn, grow, and pray together. Deacon Cathy Scott led the study with the help of the current chapter officers. On Thursday evening, Monique Anderson, The Reverend Cathy Gray, Katie Hamon, and Katie Swec (pictured above) took a vow and joined the Hannah Chapter at Holy Family.

Welcome, ladies!!
