What a year! Baptisms, confirmations, ministries for men, women, and children, moving locations, and so much more!

Beginning December 3rd, we will be worshiping in the Fellowship Hall!

In May 2023 we will have our first Vestry. If you would like to learn more about what a Vestry is and does, please see our previous article, “We will have a Vestry…What is that?!” After a month of discernment, God has brought us three wonderful candidates. Please take time to read their spiritual autobiographies.

I wanted to take a moment this week to pause and do three things: 1) follow up on a portion of my sermon from last Sunday (you can listen to it here), 2) process the recent mass shooting in Nashville, TN, this week in light of what I preached on Sunday, and 3) give the text of Jacob of Sarug that I have found so helpful and quoted in my sermon.

The Vestry is composed of lay members (except for the Rector/Vicar) who oversee the temporal affairs of the church. It is not an elder board, it is not just a financial or building committee, it is a governing board that cares deeply about ensuring that the temporal realities of the church’s life align with the spiritual direction of the church as set by the Rector (or in our case the Vicar).
