November 30th has been designated as "Name Tag Sunday." The Parish staff and others have been preparing name tags for each of us to wear to help our new Rector and his family get better acquainted with the Parish family. November 30 will be the first Sunday that he will be with us fulltime. A welcoming reception will be held the following Sunday, December 7. In addition to “Name Tag Sunday,” parishioners are being asked to wear the name tags on other special occasions.
