The Vine Announcements
ATTENTION!
Please remember to send your news/announcements/events to the church office (church@stsconstantinehelenwi.org) so they can be posted in The Vine.
We have so many active Groups/Ministries but their announcements in The Vine have been steadily declining. Only Bible Studies and Philoptochos make sure to keep us informed about their news every single month.
Especially for the September newsletter (deadline is this week), please make a point to send in all the new ecclessiastical year relevant information, registration forms for your church group or ministry!
Thank you for everything that you do!
POSTPONED: Home Build Team - Summer 2019

Realm Connect - It's here!
Have you joined our online community, yet?
We are in the process of upgrading our database to a new amazing system! Click on the following video to learn more about what we are in the process of setting up with your help!
Our church has moved to a new kind of church record keeping solution called Realm®. It primarily serves the administrative needs of our staff, but it also offers some exciting opportunities to support the way you are involved in our church. Not only will this improve work life for our ministry staff, it will make it easier for our church family to connect with each other, keep up with what’s going on, and grow as a connected community of believers.
So.... if we had your email in our previous database we have already sent you an invitation to join Realm Connect. After you accept the invitation and create your login, you can download the Connect app (find the link at the end of this post) and come join us in creating our very own connected community! If you can't find the Realm invitational email, please send me an email at church@stsconstantinehelenwi.org and request a Realm Invite. Ministry leaders should stop by the office to pick up their "Leader Guide" with helpful information.
