PARISH LIFE CONFERENCE
June 25-28

The Diocese of Worcester & New England 2009 Parish Life Conference is this Thursday through next Sunday. It is hosted this year by Saint George Church of Lawrence at the Wyndam Hotel in Andover. His Grace Bishop ANTOUN is the presiding hierarch. Conference registration forms are available in the parish hall. Schedules and other information are on-line at www.StGeorgeLawrence.org/Conf2009

THERE WILL BE NO SERVICES IN NORWOOD NEXT WEEKEND..



WALKWAY / PATIO & LANDSCAPING

Work on the new walkway and patio is complete and now the landscaping portion of the project almost done. If you did not purchase an engraved brick, forms are in the parish hall -- the plan is to reorder bricks early each spring, or whenever there are a large number to take to the engraver.

PHASE TWO includes a sign for the church and we want you to Design-A-Sign. That’s right, your ideas and vision are needed. Give us a drawing, sketch or computer print out of your plan, then we’ll have your fellow parishioners help pick a winner. Submit your work to a Parish Council member by July 5th. (Sheets with details are in the parish hall.)
