Sunday Evenings in August

You never know the extent of your influence. Teaching peace in an intergenerational setting, we can learn from each other.

From 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. all ages are invited for a simple supper, a Bible story, and small group activities. Come join your parish family in exploring peace during the time of Jesus and now. Bring a friend with you!

Want to be part of the planning team? Let Mo. Sarah know!

HERE WE GROW!



We are well on our way to meeting our staffing challenge of $155,000. So far, 23 of us have given $26,059 in new and increased pledges to our 2016 operating budget. Can you help? You sure can! Pledge cards are available in the office and on the usher's table in the nave. Together we can do this! With God's help, we will!

It is indeed a very exciting time in the life of our parish. Plans have been drawn for a holistic vision of our backyard space (by our own Rob Grove). Much of the fundraising for our new playground has borne fruit and we are moving forward with the playground portion of the project this summer.




Thank you all for your faithful support of this endeavor! Our children deserve the very best we can give them and your commitment is allowing us to build for their future.
