Today is the 15-year memorial for Anthony Scooros, husband of Laura Helm, father of Pam Scooros Van Milligan, Tony Scooros and Melissa Havlin. brother of Con Scooros, cousin of Steve Rousos and grandfather of Emily, Ashley & Scott Markus. Today we will also commemorate Helen Van Milligan, mother of John Van Milligan, and Nancy Jane Novario, mother of Cynthia Novario and grandmother of Christina. May their memory be eternal.
We would like to thank John & Pam Scooros Van Milligan and Cynthia & Christina Novario for hosting today’s Coffee Hour in memory of Anthony Scooros, Helen Van Milligan & Nancy Novario. Please consider hosting an upcoming Sunday. We are in need of hosts for October 16th & 30th. As a courtesy to our clergy, it would be nice if the Coffee Hour hosts would set plates aside for each clergy member since they are many times detained. In addition, when you host Coffee Hour, please wipe down the tables, counters, stove and wash all dishes as well as the coffee pots. Thank you for your help in keeping the facility clean.
Please adhere to the NO PARKING signs in the parking lot. These signs are posted for the safety of everyone so emergency vehicles can enter if need be. Thank you for your cooperation!
