A note from Fr. Mark:
It has been wonderful to be worshipping back in the church these last few weeks. We are still not back to “normal”, but we have found a good way of operating in these unusual times. I am planning that our services over the summer will remain in their current format. Rally Sunday is planned for September 12th, so mark your calendars and join us for our return to a new, full season of worship and activities.

We will gather at the end of summer to discuss each of our books. All books are available at your local bookstore and/or online – please reach out to Mo. Rebecca for more information. Details and links to purchase are on our Adult Education page HERE (scroll down) |

Bishop Barbara Harris was the very first woman ordained a Bishop in the Anglican Communion and Episcopal Church. She was an advocate for women’s rights and civil rights who was always grounded in her love for Jesus. |

Fighting Goliaths
Today we heard the story of David and Goliath and how one smooth stone did the trick. The Rev’d Mark Hargreaves discusses the difference between foolish naivete and the strength that can be gained by faith in God. As we face our own Goliaths he urges us “to do what we can with the skills that we've been given, and the resources at our disposal, and trust God to do the rest.”
