Announcements From Our Interim Pastor

Reminders from the Priest-in-Charge August 2023

Please join us to honor the ministry of summer organist Bill Wunsch and cantor Adam McCrory with a light reception after our 10 am service on August 27th. Their last Sunday will be September 3rd.

The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, Diocesan Climate Change Summit is set for Sept 16th in Echo Park; all congregations are asked to send representatives to the hybrid event. Those interested, please contact me, Canon Newman.

We are pleased to announce that our new Director of Music, Dr Ray Urwin, has accepted the position as organist here at St Alban’s. Our gain is a loss for St Michael’s in Corona Del Mar, where Ray has served in ministry for nearly 10 years. We look forward to welcoming him in his official capacity on Sunday, September 10th.

I will be away on Sunday, August 27, and September 3rd, at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The Rev Katherine Feng and Canon Anne Tumilty will fill those dates.

In Christ,

Father Jim Newman

Interim Pastor

Search Committee Update

The Rector Search Committee is hard at work. They have received and screened candidates. Round two will involve listening to (or reading) sermons. Please keep them in your prayers.

We Are Back To 2 Worship Services!

Starting January 8th, St. Albans will be returning to our regular schedule of two services on Sunday morning. The first service is at 8 AM, and the second service is at 10 AM, giving you twice as many opportunities to be with your church family! We hope that you’ll continue to join us in times of worship and learning onward into the year.

As always, if you can’t join us on Sunday, you can view our services online, or check out other ways to get connected with our ministries.

Children’s Formation Ministry will continue to be held at 8:15 am prior to the worship service. For more information contact Deacon Mossman at: deacon@stalbanswestwood.org
