Alleluia, Christ is Risen! It was truly wonderful to be with all of you who came to worship during Holy Week and Easter. I cannot thank everyone enough for all your time and effort at making Holy Week and Easter a great success! Special…
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. (BCP, p. 281) This is one of the anthems recited during the Veneration of the Cross in our Good Friday liturgy. We are “half-way” through the…
Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who lives and reigns for ever and ever….
Happy first day of Spring! It’s hard to believe that it is already here, but then again it is also hard to believe that Ash Wednesday was over a month ago and Easter is only two weeks away! Lent has certainly been moving faster…
The Vestry, clergy, and I had a great retreat at the end of February, and a great time was had by those of us who attended EPN. Both events were informative and full of great conversation. We focused on/learned about parish growth, connecting new…
Greetings from Charlotte, NC. Well, technically speaking, we’re now all on our way back, but we’ve been in Charlotte since Monday at the EPN Conference. We had a good week of meetings, addresses, and time with fellow Episcopalians from all across the country. We…

We have a lot happening over the course of next week, I hope you’ll join in! (You may register for the above events here) We also have a lot going on during the rest of Lent. Our Lenten Program: Faithful Living, Faithful Dying will…
Thank you to all who came to the Annual Meeting and helped to elect four members to the Vestry. Congratulations to new vestry member Janet Sweeting, and to reelected vestry members Julie Brogno, Mathias Nichols, and Blain Lagergren. I am looking forward to working…
It’s Annual Meeting time, take two! Thank you for your understanding in our canceling last week’s service and meeting due to the weather. Now, we’ll try again. It’s the one time per year we gather as a body to hear what we have done…
The weather wins again! Due to the forecast for snow and freezing temperatures this weekend, the decision has been made to move Saturday’s Diocesan ordinations to February and to cancel Sunday’s service and Annual Meeting. The ordinations will now take place on Saturday, February…
