Earth Day Celebration at Holy Comforter, Sunday, April 21. Creation Care at Holy Comforter or CC@HC (formerly known as the Green Team), would like everyone at Holy Comforter to help make this year’s April 22nd Earth Day celebration special by participating in the following events:
April 21st is Car Pool Sunday. If you know someone that lives on your way to church, please offer to pick them up. Not only will you decrease your carbon footprint, you will become better acquainted with your church friends by driving them to Holy Comforter. Let’s see how few cars we can have in our parking lot on April 21st!
Try using your smartphone or tablet as your bulletin and decrease the amount of paper that is consumed each Sunday. You will also be decreasing the noise of parishioners turning the page, right in the middle of Father Lyndon’s reading of the Gospel.
Join the Creation Care team in a Rogation Procession immediately following the April 21st service, if you are able. We will meet in Maglaras Hall and process around the church grounds. A Rogation Procession provides us with the opportunity to praise the Creator God, give thanks for our food and those who produce it, and pray for blessings on the communities in which we live. Let's celebrate however we can, in thankfulness for all we have been given. Contact Carol Tillman or John Humphrey for more information.
Grief Support Program begins April 24. Nearly all of us have experienced the death of a loved one either recently or in the past. Being part of a group is a wonderful way to honor our loved one and bring a sense of healing for ourselves. We will offer a 5-week Christ-centered grief support program to honor our loved one on Wednesdays beginning April 24, 2024 and ending May 22nd. The sessions will be 1 1/2 hours in length, and the time of day will be determined by the group. Whether you experienced the death of a loved one six months ago or many years ago, consider joining us for this group where you will learn ways in which you may honor your loved one, seek spiritual direction, and discover Jesus' promise of comfort. For more information contact pastoralcare@holycomforterchurch.net.
