The Christmas Parlor will open this year on Friday, September 24, and we need as many angels and elves as we can find to get ready.  The Christmas Parlor and Bruton Parish Gift Shop helps to fund the Outreach and Mission Ministries of Bruton Parish Episcopal Church.  We depend entirely on volunteers to set up and operate this ministry 363 days a year.  We hope you’ll join us this year in the Christmas Parlor and the Shop so that, because of you, and despite these very trying economic times, 2010 will turn out to be our best Year of Giving!  Take time to fill out and return the form located in the August issue of our monthly newsletter, The Chronicle, and know that your efforts help us spread God’s love throughout the world and benefit those in need.
