Prayer Walk for the Elections
Come join us for a Prayer Walk for the Elections, Thursday, September 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. (or at your convenience that day) at the precinct where you vote. This is a non-partisan effort to pray for the election so that God’s purpose will be fulfilled in our nation. Call Joanie Haury at 757-509-3924 or Cheryl Davis 804-815-2366 for details and to sign up. Thank you.
Octave of Service
The Church of St. Therese is participating in the diocese-wide Octave of Service from September 27th to October 4th. This is an eight-day opportunity to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Diocese of Richmond with various forms of prayer, service and outreach to the greater community.
Please prayerfully consider how you and your ministry can participate. Some ideas include: the choir singing at some of the nursing homes; the youth offering to beautify a cemetery or build birdhouses for Habitat for Humanity; letter writing the shut-ins and the sick….The possibilities are endless, but time is short! Please notify Kerry Fallon in the parish office (804-693-5939) to step up and serve, and with any ideas for service.
