Faith Unfolded Podcast Guests: Each Sunday after the 10 AM service, Ben Paden and Fr. Frank gather to record Faith Unfolded, our parish podcast that continues the conversation begun in worship. Together they reflect on the sermon, explore questions raised by the Scripture readings, and discuss how our faith speaks into everyday life. We invite you to be part of the conversation by signing up for a Sunday HERE. Whether you have a question, a comment, a different perspective, or simply want to listen and learn, your voice is welcome. The podcast is not a forum for experts but a space for faithful conversation among parishioners seeking to grow together in Christ. No preparation is necessary – just bring your curiosity, your questions, and your experiences. Join us after the 10 AM service and help us unfold the faith together. We look forward to hearing your voice!

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, please speak with Senior Warden Kay Mulhall. For the 10 AM service, a Hospitality Host schedule is ready, so please check your calendar and choose the Sunday that works best for you! 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
