Parishioners-helping-Parishioners: St. Edward’s is a community that has always shown their generosity by helping those in need in Lancaster and the World. On October 3rd we will have an opportunity to help each other in our own parish. The Social Outreach Committee will be hosting a day of giving. The purpose of this day is to assist parishioners that need help with yard work, small house repairs and/or cleaning projects.
We are looking for volunteers to help with the work. We are also asking that anyone in need of these services reach out to the committee chair, Beth Lynch, or fill out the form in the Sunday Announcement Bulletin and leave it in the box in the narthex.
Here are a few ideas that we are able to help with:
Yard Work: Leaf raking, pulling weeds, mulching, planting
House Repairs: Sticking doors, dripping faucet, clog drain, filter changes
Cleaning Projects: Dusting high shelves, decorating for Fall, rearranging kitchen cabinets

Friday Lunch & Learn: September 11th 12 Noon – 1 PM via Zoom
Please join us for this informative and spiritual time together for the next 8 weeks, commencing TOMORROW. We will begin the first week with introductions and a discussion about our Book of Common Prayer (chapter 1 of ‘Walk in Love’), and then in subsequent weeks, delve into chapters on the sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist, followed by the Sacramental Rites, the Church calendar, and the liturgies of Holy Week and Easter. After that, the Daily Office and different ways to pray. Attendance at every session is not required.
Handout for this Friday Session Click here.
We encourage you to have your Book of Common Prayer for each session and the text, Walk In Love is optional, but can be ordered at forwardmovement.org or by contacting the parish office (we have copies on hand). If you do not have a copy of the BCP on hand, this link will give you the downloadable pdf.
Each week, we will provide a hand out in the Monday emails that you can download and review prior to the Friday session.
With Peace,
Father Rick, Bob Mosbach, and Wanda Stoltzfus
