These funds are used to help minister to the needy within our community, to help further the work and ministries of the church when other funds are not available, and to support programs and institutions within the parish and community that minister to those in need.

LENTEN WEDNESDAYS: Searching for Sunday
Wednesdays, Beginning February 17, noon-1 PM, Tyler Hall,
BYO lunch
Lent is the time when we intentionally prepare for the pinnacle event of our faith's proclamation on Easter Day, "Alleluia, the Lord is Risen!" This season of Lent, rather than "give up" something-like sweets-we invite you "take up" the practice of meeting in community to take an honest look at our relationship with God and with God's Church in a conversation shaped by author Rachel Held Evans's beautiful book, Searching for Sunday, and led by our clergy. We will meet in Tyler Hall at noon on February 17th and each Wednesday following until Holy Week. While we enthusiastically recommend Evans's book (available at Amazon or Cokesbury ), reading is not required to participate in these discussions. So bring a lunch, an inquiring heart, and a healthy sense of humor.
Can't make it to the class?

New Beginnings is a weekend retreat for teenagers in grades 7-9 led by a team of mostly teenagers, with a few adults, and two clergy spiritual directors.

You are encouraged to bring friends from your church and an adult who will stay through the weekend. Everyone will take an active part in the program. You can go to New Beginnings as many times as you'd like...as long as you're in grades 7-9. We know once you go, you will want to go back. There is even an opportunity to serve on the team...you'll hear more about that at the weekend. Financial assistance is available.
