Chalice Bearers Needed
We need more volunteers to help during the 9:00 and 11:15 Masses each Sunday serving a chalice during Communion. This is a wonderful ministry and the time commitment can be a frequent as you'd like. Some serve twice a month, some once a month, some serve based around their work travel schedule. Kristi Parkinson coordinates the schedule and training of our chalice bearers. If you are interested in serving or would like to know more, please speak with Kristi or with Father Tripp.

New Sunday Evening
Small Groups
Our two new small groups got off to a terrific start last weekend. But each group is designed so you can come any week, even if you missed the previous week. Join us for these unique, engaging groups. All are welcome!
5:00-6:00 pm:
"Asking the Big Questions of Faith." Do heaven and hell exist? Is God the only one listening to our prayers? Do all dogs go to heaven? All are invited; the group meets in the Library (Cottage #202)
7:00-8:00 pm:
"Meeting God in Paul."
During Lent we will explore what Paul says in his letters and how those letters convey images and ideas about God. This group will meet in the Library (Cottage #202)
