Upcoming Events
Welcome to Iona Dinner - Sat. 9/13
Several times a year Fr. Mike hosts a dinner immediately after our worship service for those who are new to Iona. This is your chance to connect with our pastor and others who are new to the community, as well as learn more about the church, how you can get involved, and ask any questions that are on your mind (including the hard ones!).
Picnic in the Park - Sat. 7/12
After worship, we will gather at the playground at John Ball Park for a picnic. Iona will provide cold drinks and a farmer's market spread for dinner (cold cuts, cheeses, fresh bread, fresh fruit, etc.). Just bring camping chairs, picnic blankets, and enjoy!
Annual Church Camp - Fri. 7/25 - Sun. 7/27
Mark your calendars for this beloved Iona tradition. We will return to Dunes Bible Camp in Ocean Park, WA. Contact Mary to register. That weekend we will have our worship service at camp. There will be no Saturday service in Vancouver on 7/26.
Weekly Fellowship Meals
Everyone is welcome to join us for dinner after our 4PM worship on Saturdays. We usually gather at the church fellowship hall, though in the sunny months we schedule outdoor picnics at a local park. After meals, we all take turns cleaning up.
Never feel any pressure to bring food. We just love being together. For those who choose to bring something, feel free to bring what you like. No sign up necessary. Typical meals include:
Soups, Stews, or Chowders
Salads (vegetables or fruit)
Muffins or Breads (w/ Butter)
