Military Packing thank you!
Thank you to all those who helped with the Military packing! Wow, what a wonderful group of parishioners of all ages!

We extend a big thank you to the members of SAGES (Senior Adult Group of Episcopalians) who attended our luncheon this past Tuesday to hear an engaging presentation by Episcopal Relief and Development. Thanks also to those SAGES who put their money where their mouth is, on the spot, and raised enough money to buy a goat and then some, for the Episcopal Relief and Development's Gifts for Life program. Thank you for your generosity and your compassion for others! For more information, contact
Hank Gatlin.
