Dear Friends:
As this is my last bulletin article, I want to
review the many things that have been done
these past seven and half years. In the rectory:
new kitchen installed. In the parish hall: new
kitchen, painted hall & kitchen, replaced carpet,
replaced flooring in the restrooms, installed new
furnace & air conditioners. Inside the church:
renovated the choir loft and installed new pews.
Outside of the church: paved the north parking
lot and sealed and maintained bricks.
We have witnessed births, deaths, first
communions, confirmations, and marriages.
We have seen each other grow in the knowledge
and love of Christ.
The flowers on the altar this weekend are in
memory of Joe Smitley.
On behalf of St. Mary’s , I welcome Fr.
Augustine Koomson to our parish and wish
you many blessings in the future. Fr. Michael
B. Haag

God Bless

Our VBS was a great success this year
thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers and
contributors! We collected many goodies for
The Summer Backpack Program making our
VBS mission project a success! The kids loved
the Camp Discovery theme and the great crafts,
games, and bible stories that went along with it.
Massive thanks go out to Jim and Debby
Montgomery and Keith and Ashlee Crouch for
getting us tree cookies- the kids loved making
fun keepsakes that tied in with the day's bible
story!
A very special thanks to our volunteers:
Danielle Burress, Ashlee Crouch, Michelle
Gorrell, Teresa Gorrell, Alison Medsker, Pat
Morrison, and Diana Thompson
And our junior volunteers:
Meredith Brown, Nick Brown, Anna Gorrell,
Ebony Hewitt, Logan Medsker, Lily Pearce
and Cheyenne Tingley
We had a blast this year thanks to our
wonderful parish! We missed our friends who
couldn't be here but can't wait for next year with
them. As always I am humbled to be a part of
this wonderful program. Thank you again and
enjoy the rest of the summer!—Leah Guillemette
