This Week : What's Going on at St. Dunstan's : Welcome : St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church

What is an acolyte and what do they do? This question is asked often in the Church - especially when someone new comes in and wonders who that is carrying the cross, or lighting the candles, or even carrying the torches. What are the torches? What is the alms basin? So many terms and questions!

Join me at one of the trainings and learn about this important ministry of the Church. Give me a call or email to register. Again, there is no commitment being made, just fellowship and training.

These trainings are identical in nature; you only need to attend one. Even if you aren’t sure about being an acolyte, please come to see what it’s all about! Taking the training does not mean you are saying "yes" to serving in this role. Lunch will be provided.

Hope you'll join us!
Donna Stinchcomb, Interim Children's Minister

WHAT NOW?

What: An informal support group for seniors as they reflect on their new identities as persons whose lives are necessarily changing as “The Calendar” brings new challenges, new perspectives, new limitations, and, most importantly, new opportunities.

Why: Life brings changes to all of us. Roles, activities, and responsibilities that gave us satisfaction and identify–or difficulty–fade away, opening opportunities for new engagements that satisfy our needs for community, spirituality, and exploration. Sometimes, those changes also bring limitations– physical, mental, and logistical–that require personal re-orientation and creative thinking. Although each of us experiences these things alone, exploring them with others often develops perspectives that we might not easily achieve otherwise.

Who: We are especially interested in those who are fully retired, especially those whose responsibilities and roles have changed, leaving them with new questions about how they are finding meaning in their lives.
