A New Church Year With New Opportunities!

August 22, 2020 Featured

As we enter the final days in August, we are excited to pivot (boldly!) into a New Church Year, which begins on September 1. This coming church year, while no doubt full of challenges, is also full of new opportunities for our community and for each of us:

  • The church is fully open for worship!
  • Fellowship events are once again populating our church calendar
  • Youth, young adults, and college students can look forward to a variety of activities
  • Christian Education is gearing up for new options we’ve never offered before.
  • Our parish leadership is focused with laser precision on getting our parish life “back to normal” as quickly and responsibly as possible
  • We are preparing our semi-annual Visitors’ Sunday for Sept. 20

Our Parish “Open Door Plan” Continues into the Fall

You can read our latest “notes” on our “Open Door Plan,” outlining our current practices at St. Athanasius and our commitment to gather together, yet to gather responsibly.  We remind our parish faithful and visitors of some basic guidelines when we gather at the church:
  • wash hands upon entering the church
  • wear masks while indoors
  • maintain 6 ft. of social distance between families
  • enjoy fellowshipping outdoors but be prudent in staying clear of exits after services
  • should you feel ill or have a temperature, stay home and pray via our YouTube livestream

We invite you to come visit our church and pray at any of our services or to schedule a time to meet with our priest, Fr. Justin (859-361-2823.) Of course, you are still welcome to connect virtually, through the livestreaming options.
