This Wednesday, August 15, there will be no evening worship service at St. Johns. You are invited to join us with St. Mary’s Middlesboro at 6:00 pm for their celebration of St. Mary the Virgin, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, their patronal feast. http://ow.ly/cUGPd

The videos of the Q&A sessions at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd are now available on the diocesan website: http://diolex.org/bishop7/front-page/videos-of-qa-at-good-shepherd-now-available/

We would like to express our thanks to our guest pianist, Gabriel Fernandes, who joined us this Sunday.

Gabriel is a student from Brazil studying Music Performance at Eastern Kentucky University. He is rising junior and was definitely a blessed gift to our worship this Sunday morning!

In the afternoon for brief visits

We would like to thank the Rev. Phillip Haug for joining us this Sunday as our celebrant. The Rev. Margaret Shanks was in Indianapolis serving the Diocese of Lexington as a Deputy to the 77th General Convention.

Due to a conflict with another special event, the Wednesday evening light meal and worship service for July 4 has been canceled.

It has been decided to postpone the monthly potluck this month. The previous Sunday was a breakfast for Fathers’ Day and this past Wednesday there was a rather large potluck. With these two events in mind it was decided to postpone this month’s potluck.
