CHR Annual Meeting
Sunday, February 9, at 11:00
Annual Meeting itself will take place during our Sunday morning worship. A shortened service of prayer and music with readings and sermon, (serving as the rector’s report), will precede the business portion of Annual Meeting, followed by Q&A, and concluding with Holy Eucharist.
Annual Meeting will be livestreamed for those who cannot be here in person.
Extended childcare with special programming will be available throughout. Immediately after the service, there will be coffee hour and conversation in the Narthex.
Please make every effort to take part in this important day in the life of our parish!
2025 All-Parish Art Show
“Let There Be Light!”
The Arts Committee at Heavenly Rest invites the CHR community to our 2025 All-Parish Arts exhibition, featuring artworks on paper, canvas, needlework, ceramics, sculpture, and the art of the written word!
This year's exhibition theme is “Let There Be Light!” As we gather on this Threshold of New Beginnings and welcome The Rev. Kate Malin, our new Rector, we invite all CHR art-makers to create a work that illuminates and animates what John’s Prologue says to us during the seasons of Epiphany and Lent: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. NRSV John 1:5
“Let There Be Light!” will be On View in the Undercroft Gallery from Feb 2 - March 16
Reception with the Artists will be on Tuesday, February 4, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
For more information, email lthorpe@heavenlyrest.org.
