MINI-stry Event: On Sunday, November 2nd, Holy Family will host its first MINI-stry Event immediately following the 10 AM service. Ministry fairs used to be huge and intimidating, so this is a new and improved MINI version! Grab a cup of coffee and chat with leaders from Altar Guild, Bread Baking, Meal Ministry, and Hospitality to learn more about each ministry and how you might be called to serve. Other MINI-stry events will highlight other groups throughout the year. For more information, contact parish administrator Wendy in the church office. admin@hfec.org
Game Night: The next gathering of Game Night will be on Friday, November 7th at 7 PM. Bring any games you like or try something new! Please contact Fred Naatz through the church office for more information. admin@hfec.org See you then!
Gratitude & Grace – A Multi-Faith Thanksgiving Gathering: Join the Fishers Multi-Faith Community for Compassion for an uplifting evening of gratitude, reflection, and fellowship. This free event will be held at Holy Family on Sunday, November 9th from 6:30 – 7:30 PM. Please register so that enough refreshments can be prepared. All are welcome!
Music & Meditation: Many spiritual traditions incorporate repetitive sounds, actions and visual stimuli to induce a trance-like meditative state. This month Music & Meditation will focus on music that explores this territory. Selections will vary from Sufi Qawwali music to contemporary electronic music and beyond. Join the fun on Sunday, November 16th at 7 PM in the sanctuary. Questions may be directed to Joel Bruns via the church office. All are welcome! admin@hfec.org
Book Club: The next book for discussion will be Notes On Your Sudden Disappearance by Alison Espach. Join the conversation on Wednesday, November 19th at 3 PM. Visit the Book Club webpage for Zoom information for this gathering. admin@hfec.org
Hospitality Hosts Wanted: Holy Family’s hospitality coffee hour gatherings following the 8 AM and 10 AM services are being reorganized in an effort to better welcome visitors and provide a warm environment for fellowship. Hospitality Hosts are needed to lead this important ministry! Hosts are responsible for making and serving coffee and lemonade as well as cleaning up. They may provide snacks, but this is not required.
In an effort to increase participation in this wonderful ministry, each family is being asked to sign up to host hospitality once per program year. For those who regularly attend the 8 AM service, they will organize their own sign-up sheet. For the 10 AM service, a new Hospitality Host schedule is ready, so please check your calendar and choose the Sunday that works best for you! An information session for both services will provide helpful details to make hosting easy and enjoyable. Whether you are new and want to learn more or are a returning Hospitality Host, please speak with Father Frank to make sure you are added to the contact list. frfrank@hfec.org
