 God the Giver - Mimosa Brunch  This Sunday - Nov 15, after both services
On November 15th, we will gather our giving commitments (pledge cards) for 2016. We will place these in the offering baskets, and they will be blessed on the altar. After each service, we will have a festive Mimosa Brunch to celebrate who we are, God's abundance in our lives, and our response. Can't find your pledge cards?

NEW - Environmental Stewardship
A new team is forming...
...seeking to help our parish become a better steward of our environment. As part of our Justice and Peace ministries, this "Greening Team" will make recommendations to our vestry to improve how we operate in terms of environmental stewardship. Our goal will be to achieve a "Greening Congregation Certification" through Earth Ministry, a Seattle based organization advocating for environmental stewardship and Christian mission. Learn more here.
If you are interested, email JR, or speak with him in person.
