St. Clement's News

12 noon - Holy Eucharist followed by fellowship lunch

Please call the church office (916) 635-5282 to say you will be joining us.

Pastor Christine will be taking half of her three-month sabbatical this August-September. Rev. Jimi Benesh will be preacher/presider August 22 and 29. Rev. Perry Polk will do the same for the four Sundays in September.

6 p.m. Pot-Luck Dinner and Game Night. Bring a dish and a game to share. Diane R. has more information.

Each month we offer something new to be grateful for. In August we focus on the blessings of homes. Each person is invited to take home a votive candle which says "May God bless this home." You might light it - or not - as you prepare a meal, read a book or just enjoy the evening breeze.

As a parish we are also very grateful for those who made donations so we could buy seven handsome 60-inch round tables for the Parish Hall. What a difference they make!

In October the Parish will explore Mitch Albom's book, "Have a Little Faith." Buy it now from your favorite book-seller (it lists for $23.99), or buy one (new) from Pastor Christine for $14.50. It is a good read, full in insights.

Pastor Christine and the Rev. Craig Kuehn will lead a 12 day pilgramage in Israel and Palestine May 16-27, 2011. Full color brochures describing each day's unforgettable sights are available in the Church Narthex and the office. Reserve NOW to be sure to be included.

A Thrift Store, located in the second Safe Harbor classroom, is opened Saturdays from 9am to 1pm. All proceeds will benefit St. Clement’s ministries.

If you have good quality, clean items to donate, please contact Denise Smith at 916-852-8223.
