2008

On January 20th 2008, the new chapel of Saint Athanasius was used to celebrate communion for the first time. The renovation process had taken many months and much hard work, particularly on the part of Mr J. Dixon, Mr J. Minor, Mr T. Williams, and Mr A. Newchok, amongst others. The beautiful, small chapel was finally ready and Father Charles Nalls celebrated. At the same service, we also celebrated the adult baptism of Kari Miller.

Women's Bible Study 2008: Our women's group will be doing a Beth Moore Bible study, "Living Beyond Yourself". This will be a 10 week study on Galatians, on Thursday nights at 6:30. There is a workbook that needs to be purchased. Please email the church for more information.

Easter News 2008: Easter blessings and greetings to all our readers. We have completed our first Easter in our new chapel, and our thanks go out to everyone who has helped make this such a beautiful season. Several big events have happened this week!

On Saturday March 29th, we were delighted to be present at Jason Duchenne's presentation to the Bishop and his Ordination as Deacon during an afternoon service presided over by Bishop Rocco Florenza. Then on Sunday March 30th, we celebrated Holy Communion in a packed church with over 65 people! Again, Bishop Florenza presided, and was assisted by Father Charles Nalls and Deacon Jason Duchenne. Furthermore, we also celebrated the Confirmation of Kari Miller and Laura Nalls. We were very happy to welcome all of our new visitors, not least the Christian Motorcycle Association, many of whose members were able to attend our service. After Holy Communion, Bishop Florenza blessed the riders and their bikes.

It is wonderful to see our small community growing and new faces amongst regular ones. If you have not yet visited us, please do - and if you have already been to our services, we would love to see you again! Go to our photo page to see the events from this weekend.

Baptism: On Sunday January 20th, we celebrated the baptism of Kari Miller, in our first communion in our chapel.

Moved in!: We are delighted to announce that we have moved into our new sanctuary. Our first communion was celebrated on Sunday 20th January. Please come and join us in our new church, and have a look at some of our photos of the interior on our photo page!
