Sunday, June 12 We will pilot a second Sunday summer service at 6 pm in June (12th) and July (10th). This is a "come as you are" service in the chapel. While all are welcome, the service is specifically intended for weekend travelers returning from the high country, a young adult who might have overslept the morning, and families that may include children and youth (read: shorts, t-shirts, paja- mas and a bit more holy noise are expected). The service will be no longer than 45 minutes. Seating and floor space will be available in the chapel. The services will be followed by "Second Sunday Cinema" in the parish hall (again, all are welcome-- movies will be Pixar, DreamWorks Animation, etc.). Light concessions will be available for purchase. All are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and sleeping bags for the movie! This is a great opportunity to invite a neighbor or friend who might find Sunday morning church a hard sell for the kids and the kid in all of us. East Valley Men's Center Bike Shop Update
