Church Doors and Safety

For building safety Mondays though Fridays, the only unlocked door to the church may be on Superior Street. Please
enter through that door. If you know the keypad code for the Greysolon Rd entrance and find the outside door unlocked you
may enter through that door.
For regularly scheduled events the Greysolon door will be open and will remain open until the event is over. If you have
an appointment with someone in the building be sure to inquire as to which entrance to use.
All doors are unlocked on Sunday mornings.
Please be patient as we work to make the building a safer place for all who pass through these doors. If you have questions
or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact the church office.

THE EARLY HISTORY of The Parish Messenger is on display in the church Repository. The Messenger shown is for October 1895. Note the interesting advertisements.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING AN USHER, please call Mary Ann & Chuck Howard, 525-1533. They would love to put you on the usher schedule.

HELP! We are looking for the names and addresses of all college students in the parish so we can send the MESSENGER to them on a regular basis, as well as cards and notes of encouragement and support. Send or drop off the information to Susan's attention with our thanks.
