O God, because without you we are not able to

and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Stewardship Season Kicks off with a Tree!
 As part of the activities surrounding our fall stewardship campaign, Rick Tanner is designing another of his temporary liturgical art works for the sanctuary. On Sunday, September 21st, the giving trees will arrive. After each service, parishioners will be asked to help cut out additions to the tree for the following Sunday. Eventually, the three trees on the banner will represent the three themes of our campaign: Practical giving, Spiritual giving, and Visionary giving. Make sure to join us for the kickoff dinner (see announcements for details) and then look for the giving trees on Sunday! |
