Link Visitors Series, Apostle’s Feast, Sunday Schedule for Summer, and more

I pray you all had a wonderful July 4th with your family and friends. I feel blessed to live in such a great country where we enjoy the freedom to worship, assemble, and dialogue.  Of course with freedom, comes great responsibility.  This is so true, and we experience this truth on a daily basis with the free will that our Lord has granted us.

Last Sunday we kicked off the Link visitor’s series entitled SIMPLE LESSONS FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH with Joe Everett discussing Boundaries.  This coming Sunday we will have Makar Naguib discussing how to Use Good Habits (and Fighting Bad Ones) to Grow Spiritually.

Also, just a reminder that summer is officially here, so St. Anianus will be starting and finishing 30 minutes earlier on Sunday mornings.  Please see full summer schedule below:
