Summer Greetings!
While for many of us the summer offers a slower, less busy time for R&R and perhaps travel, the vibrant life of our parish continues here at home. Whatever you’re up to, your parish family wishes you well. Know that you and your family remain in our prayers, and we can’t wait until we’re all together again.
This Sunday, we are thrilled to welcome back The Rev. Lynn Harrington as our Celebrant and Preacher at both the 8:00am and 10:00am services. Please join us for wonderful liturgy and excellent preaching!
