WELCOME
To all our parishioners, friends, and guests, a sincere welcome to everyone for coming to God’s house so that we may all share in prayer and join us for fellowship at our coffee hour.
2024 CALENDAR NEWS
Please be advised that we will not be sending out calendars this year. You can pick up your 2024 Ecclesiastical Calendars by the entryway.
BOOK STUDY
Join us in person or on Zoom (http://tiny.cc/cjrrvz) every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. as we delve into the depths of C.S. Lewis's book "Mere Christianity." Copies of the book will be provided.
STEWARDSHIP NEWS
Total Giving Statements for 2023 have been sent to parishioners with 2024 Stewardship materials and pledge cards. Due to limitations with software, the statements show the total amount given per household. If you need an itemized list of your giving, please get in touch with me at mbarton83@aol.com, and I will develop a spreadsheet to send to you.
If you have a "secret superpower" for working with spreadsheets and would like to share your knowledge, please contact me (Mary Rankin). I would love to develop a more efficient way to track individual giving! Thank you to everyone for your patience.
