Text Alerts via Flocknote
Thanks to the growth of our parish, we have a communication problem. And that’s a good problem to have!
Beginning immediately, we will be using Flocknote (a trusted parish management program) to send real-time text alerts in the event of time changes, cancellations, and/or other time sensitive information. We will continue to use the website and calendar for news and dates. If Flocknote proves useful, we may expand its use.
To begin receiving alerts, text 4EOC to 84576 or sign-up at 4eorthodoxchurch.flocknote.com.
And please add 84576 to your contacts so you don’t miss an alert!
Prayers
In your prayers please continue to remember our catechumens (Rob & Stacy M. and children, Michael F., Nicholas M., Michael H., James T., Tom B., and Nicholas & Taylor R.), new mothers and babies, the sick, the poor, travelers, those impacted by war and calamities, our country, and those in need.
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,…” — 1st Epistle of St. Timothy 2.1
