Christian Education This Sunday
Christian Education classes for children, youth, and adults will meet from 9:30 – 10:30 AM most Sundays until May 4.
This fall, classes will NOT meet on October 13 (fall break for local schools), or October 27 (one combined 10 AM service).
Behold Who You Are
Each year, the parish community makes a commitment to live into God’s call for our lives, and we embody this participation in our operating budget.
This year, our theme is “Behold Who You Are,” a beautiful reminder from the liturgy of the Eucharist: “Behold who you are, the body of Christ. May we become what we receive.” This serves as an invitation for us to reflect on how we are called to embody Christ’s presence in the world.
Pledge cards have been mailed to member households and are available at the church. You also have the option to submit your pledge for 2025 online at the link below.
Pilgrimage to Greece
Fr. Stuart will schedule the initial meeting for those attending the pilgrimage to Greece sometime in early November so register soon!
The October 13-21, 2025 trip will focus on a few of the key places St. Paul visited, communities that inspired several of his writings in the New Testament. But more than that, we will have time to delve deeply into the Ancient Greek and Roman culture that influenced St. Paul during that time. We will spend time exploring texts, and we will visit oracles and temples as well. Learn more and register now at the link below!
