Music & Meditation: January’s Music and Meditation is an invitation to slow down and listen for what holds you steady. The music will explore stillness not through silence alone, but through rhythm, repetition and restraint. This is not about emptying the mind or escaping the world but finding solid ground in it. Join the gathering on Sunday, January 25th at 7 PM in the sanctuary. Contact program director Joel Bruns through the church office for more information or visit the program webpage. admin@hfec.org
Men’s Ministry: Please join the next Men’s Ministry gathering on Wednesday, January 28th at 7 PM in the Parish Hall. The meeting will include planning upcoming activities and engaging in a facilitated discussion. You are invited to visit Chatham Tap afterwards for fellowship time.

Let’s Glow! You are invited to chase away the winter blues by joining this fun, FREE fellowship gathering for students in PreK-6th grade. On Saturday, February 7th from 6-7:30 PM the parish hall will be full of fun games and activities, many that glow in the dark or light up. You are encouraged to eat dinner before you arrive, but light refreshments will be available. Wear comfy clothes so you can dance and play with friends from the #holyvillage. Wearing white or neon colors will make it extra fun! This event is open to all Holy Family children and their guests, so please bring a friend. Please sign up online. At least one adult per household should plan to stay during the event – it’s a great time to catch up with other parents.

Scout Sunday: On Sunday, February 22nd, Holy Family will bless all students and adults who currently participate in scouting. Please RSVP here if you are able to attend that day.
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.
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, please speak with Senior Warden Kay Mulhall. For the 10 AM service, a Hospitality Host schedule is ready, so please check your calendar and choose the Sunday that works best for you! 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
