Community Announcements
 
Welcome to Holy Innocents
            We are always happy to have guests with us; we’d like for you to know that we have two services most Sundays during the year, our 9 o’clock service has a more contemporary liturgy and strives to include children as full participants while the 11 o’clock service is more traditional in feel. Children of all ages are always welcome at either service! Godly Play and other youth activities generally happen between the two services during the school year. It is our custom to share a combined Service at 9:30 a.m. on the last Sunday of each month.
 
Mardi Gras & Ash Wednesday
Our Mardi Gras party starts at 6pm on Tuesday, February 21 in the Parish Hall. We’ll feature Music and DJing from Father Bertie and Ellen French, Rum drinks and other temptations from Stephen Walker and Davey Gerhard, and Cajun and Creole food a’plenty! If you’d like to bring a Cajun or Creole dish, please do! It takes a lot red beans and rice, crawfish, and sausage to feed our parish family! Can’t bring something? Just bring yourself! There is always enough to share.
If you’re interested in helping with set-up, please contact Davey Gerhard at 415 307 0172 or just show up at 5pm. We’ll need some help cleaning up, too!
The following day, as Lent begins with our observance of Ash Wednesday, February 22.
·         4pm: meet Father Bertie, Father Tim, and others at the 24th Street BART station for the imposition of ashes for commuters.
·         6pm: Traditional Ash Wednesday Service and Eucharist at Holy Innocents
·         7PM: Potluck in the Parish Hall. Families are particularly encouraged to attend!
For potluck, please bring salad, soup, and bread. We ask, for this day, that you not bring desserts. Can’t bring something? Just bring yourself! There will be plenty!
 
Annual Meeting
The annual meeting will take place on February 26, at 11 a.m. following the single service and coffee hour. Hospitality is provided by all. We will talk about the state of our congregation, review our budget, and elect our new Bishop’s Committee members. Please join us for this important meeting.
 
Please help us welcome our guests!
            Each Sunday please take a few minutes to look around and see if there are new faces in the congregation. If you see someone you don’t know, please pick up one of the clipboards with visitor cards on it and invite them to fill in a card so that we can send them a welcome note. If they have already done so, or if you find that the person is simply someone you have not yet met, don’t be embarrassed; use this as an opportunity to introduce yourself.
 
Altar Flowers
            The altar flowers are dedicated to the glory of God, by Erling Eia, in memory of my mother, Yvonne Louise Ravenna, born February 24, 1923, and in gratitude to the congregation of Holy Innocents for their love and prayers.
 
Wednesday Evening Potluck and Christian Education
Each week the Holy Innocents community gathers on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 PM to share in a potluck of food, wine, and good company!
Everyone is welcome to attend. At 7:00 PM the EfMers (Education for Ministry) regularly meet for their weekly class, while the rest of the company gathers for an hour of interactive instruction and discussion.
 
Working with San Francisco Youth

Explore models and find others along the same path. Find a better way forward for this world and yourself.

            Calling all submissions for a Holy Innocents Cookbook!  To be included in this fundraising effort:
Step 1: Send your recipe to Rhea at rheabette@gmail.com
Step 2: Wait to be contacted by her to set up a little interview so a profile of you can be included with your recipe
Step 3: Have your picture taken with your dish
And voila, you’ve made food history!  If you don’t know what to submit but still want to be included, email Rhea anyway, and as the book shapes up she’ll let you know what’s missing.  Happy cooking/baking/writing!
 
Donating Flowers
You are invited to share in the flower ministry of Holy Innocents Church. Please check for available Sundays on the flower chart located downstairs just before you enter the social hall. The suggested gift for Sunday altar flowers is $35. You may dedicate them to God’s glory in honor or in memory of loved ones or in thanksgiving for anniversaries or other events in your life. The flowers will be purchased and arranged by members of the Flower Committee. 
 
Hospitality
            If you’d like to participate in our ministry of providing hospitality after the services, please contact: Laura Napolitano for the 9:00 am, laura.napolitano@sbcglobal.net; Cynthia Walker for the 11 am, cynthiawalker_57@hotmail.com; and Fabienne Blanc, fabienneblanc@yahoo.com   To sign directly for hospitality, please go to http://holyinsf.org/calendar/rota/. Hospitality can be as elaborate as you wish but it can be also very simple: you can bring one savory and one sweet offering (for instance bread/cheese and cookies, or/and anything else you love to make and wish to share with the community), fruit or vegetable (any kind of fruit, washed, or veggies & dip), and some juice or other non-alcoholic/non-caffeinated beverage. We have coffee, and someone will help you figure out how to make it.
            *Frequently on Wednesdays, when the potluck folks come in (there are 30 of us meeting weekly for potluck and adult-ed), we must attend to Sunday’s leftovers dishes in the kitchen. Those responsible for Sunday morning hospitality are asked to wash dishes used on Sunday morning.
