What's Happening! Readings for 16th Sunday after Pentecost (track 2)

NEW! More Family-Focused 4th Sundays This Sunday, September 24. On the fourth Sunday of the month children will gather with their teachers and families around the altar with the clergy for the liturgy of the Word. This year children will be participating in the Liturgy and also have additional involvement including singing and reading. The "4th Sunday" of each month will be more Family Focused and followed by a more family-centered coffee hour giving families an opportunity to share more and get to know each other more. To help celebrate the Fourth Sunday Family Service, this Sunday's coffee hour will feature ice cream cones and bubbles under the arches right after the 10:00am service. Enjoy!

Celebration of Life Lindsay Kohlweck Kaufman This Saturday, September 23, 3:00pm in the Chapel. A service celebrating Lindsay's life (daughter of former parishioner Janet Kohlweck).
