Sing with Our Choir
If you are interested in singing with the choir, we would love to have you join us. You don't need to be a great singer or be the world's greatest reader of music. You only need to have a love of music and a desire to share your talents with others to the glory of God. Everyone is welcome, and everyone is appreciated. See all the details here. Reach out to Darren at darrenherring@st-anthony.net with any questions. Christian Formation on Sunday
The new program year has started for all ages. Children ages 3 to 5th grade are invited to Godly Play, and EPIC (6-12th graders) will meet in the youth room. All are encouraged to bring a friend. Adult formation will take place in the Parish Hall after hospitality has concluded at 10:45 am. Hospitality after Worship
We have returned to the Parish Hall! The restoration work has been mostly completed and allows us to fully use this area again. So be sure to come by to see how it looks and have a drink and something to eat while you're there. Consider signing up to host one Sunday. It doesn't have to be a meal -- cookies or cheese and crackers is always a hit. See the signup sheet or contact Vicki or Jerry Howell to sign up. The Oasis: The Nursery at Saint Anthony
8:30-10:30 am on Sunday Mornings The Oasis, our nursery just off the church lobby, will be available for parents and young children up to four years old during the summer. If anyone requires a diaper-changing table, a place to feed their child or simply a quiet spot to relax, they can make use of the room. Our nursery attendant Kaitlin will be there most Sundays. When it is not staffed, parents will need to stay with their child. If you have any questions, please reach out to Suzette Woods. Make A Difference Day - Save the Date
