Winter Prayers of the People: At certain times during the year, Holy Family refreshes the Prayers of the People list. While prayers continue for those who have been read aloud in the past, this gives an opportunity to add new names for those in need. Please click HERE to add the names of those you wish to be read aloud during the Advent and Christmas liturgical seasons.
Advent Wreath Volunteers: At the beginning of each Advent service, Holy Family invites a household or small group to light the candle(s) for the week. Please sign up online to help with this tradition at either the 8 AM or 10 AM service on Sundays beginning November 30th.
Men’s Ministry Eucharist: The Holy Family Men’s Ministry will host a gathering at the church on Monday, December 1st at 7 PM. This special day honors St. Andrew and is near the beginning of Advent. There will be a short Eucharist (worship service with communion) and general discussion immediately followed by a gathering at Chatham Tap.

Members of the Men’s Ministry will cook and serve breakfast. St. Nicholas will make an appearance, share stories from his life, pose for selfies, and hand out goodies to the children. This free event will also feature crafts and games that illustrate the life of this bishop and saint who was the inspiration for Santa Claus. Please register online if you plan to attend, and be sure to invite your friends and neighbors. Holy Family welcomes all! Register online HERE.
Music & Meditation Winter Solstice: Join the fun on Sunday, December 21st at 7 PM in the sanctuary. Questions may be directed to Joel Bruns via the church office. All are welcome! admin@hfec.org
Hospitality Hosts Wanted: Holy Family’s hospitality coffee hour gatherings following the 8 AM and 10 AM services are being reorganized in an effort to better welcome visitors and provide a warm environment for fellowship. Hospitality Hosts are needed to lead this important ministry! Hosts are responsible for making and serving coffee and lemonade as well as cleaning up. They may provide snacks, but this is not required.
In an effort to increase participation in this wonderful ministry, each family is being asked to sign up to host hospitality once per program year. For those who regularly attend the 8 AM service, they will organize their own sign-up sheet. For the 10 AM service, a new Hospitality Host schedule is ready, so please check your calendar and choose the Sunday that works best for you! An information session for both services will provide helpful details to make hosting easy and enjoyable. Whether you are new and want to learn more or are a returning Hospitality Host, please speak with Father Frank to make sure you are added to the contact list. frfrank@hfec.org
