Announcements

This Sunday
9:15 am

Join our Rector for a prayerful "Spiritual Year in Review" process to look back on 2018, noticing God's presence and absence in your life, thanking God for all of it, and opening yourself to God's presence in the year to come. You may want to bring a calendar so that you can easily reference what happened over the last 12 months. We will supply some questions for reflection, simple art materials, and prayerful guidance for the process.

Join us at Bocelli's (diagonally across the street from the Church) for an informal get-together.
