Sexagesima Sunday
PARKING FOR SUN, FEB 8
During this penitential season of Pre-Lent, the Lord has allowed winter weather to give us some opportunities for sacrifice. Let's use this opportunity fruitfully!
If you can...
Please Park at Flat Rock Square
A 2 min walk from the Church
The owner is graciously allowing to park in their paved lot, which is clear of snow and ice.
(corner of Greenville Hwy & W. Blue Ridge Road, where Flat Rock Cinema & Sharewell Coffee are located)
- Friday's warm weather melted some of the snow and ice in the parking lot, but what the water is refreezing, resulting in large icy areas.
- For families, we are suggesting that fathers drop off their families using the upper turnabout. This is completely clear. Please arrive early to allow time for drop off, parking at Flat Rock Square and the two minute walk to church.
- For those needing to park close: please check in with our parking attendant. We have a few parking spots that we can use in the upper lot, or we can arrange to shuttle you from Flat Rock Square both before and after Chruch.
- To that end, we are asking for volunteers at both the 8:30 & 11am Mass. Please contact David Curry: (423-802-1167/jdcurry05@gmail.com) if you can help with shuttling or assisting those in need before and after the Mass you attend.
Fellowship this Sunday -
Potluck/Snack Sunday Super Bowl Party theme!
We have missed out on our traditional Sunday gathering for the past two weeks, so let's make up for it with a Super Bowl Party themed gathering after the 11am Mass on Sunday! Bring your favorite Super Bowl party food - chili cheese dip and chips, cheese balls and crackers, chicken wings and sauce, hot dogs, brownies, cookies - whatever seems right to you!!
(If you will be at the church early for Mass and can help if people need to drop items off before parking at Flat Rock Square, please let us know at the parish office. Thank you!)
