ANNOUNCEMENTS! as we gear up for Rally Day and the weeks following:
In the weeks to come, members of the SFITF family will be offering their personal stories during Sunday worship, as we each discern how we might share our time, talents and treasure in the coming year. If you have other information to share with the parish, be sure to send this to Jackie Wilson (sfitfadmin@bellsouth.net) for inclusion in our electronic newsletter, and as space fits, in the Sunday bulletin. It is good practice to use the electronic newsletter, as we have plenty of space and this is a great resource for detailed information. If an announcement needs to be made during the service, alert Mtr Beth ahead of time and we will accommodate this if time permits; otherwise, Mtr Beth will include a "soundbite" reminding folks to check the eNewsletter or bulletin for more details.
