Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.


All are welcome to be with us in the Sunday liturgy.

All who are baptized are invited to join with us at the altar rail and receive
the consecrated bread and wine.

Anyone and everyone may come with and among us to the altar rail to receive a blessing from our priest, through whom flows the love of God and the love of our community.


As is our yearly custom for many years now, we will be making an assortment of easter eggs and chocolate covered pretzels this Easter season.

On Saturday, March 16th, at 2:00 PM, Bishop Scanlan will be joining us for a Service of Holy Eucharist with Confirmation and Reception of a New Member.  The service is open to everyone — anyone may attend to worship God with us and to support those making this public commitment.
