KidZone Assistance Need
We are in need of volunteers to assist Kathryn in KidZone. While she will be lead teacher most Sundays, she needs extra hands and eyes to help out and to meet the Safe Church expectation of two adults in the classroom.
The requirements are not onerous--no advance preparation--simply come and have fun with the kids for about 45 minutes--that's it! We already have a few folks who have graciously volunteered, for which we are most thankful, but we could use a few more--the more we have on the rota, the fewer times you need to be scheduled. It will be wonderful to have you on the KidZone Team; please contact Reverend Linda or Kathryn to let us know you will join us. Thank you!
On Sunday, August 29, sixteen years after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Ida made landfall in the same region. This Category 4 storm brought flooding and damaging winds. Episcopal Relief & Development is working closely with the Diocese of Louisiana and other general partners in what will be a long-term response. Your generous gift will help alleviate suffering for the most vulnerable residents impacted by Hurricane Ida.

Please visit episcopalrelief.org/hurricane-relief to make a gift today. 
Weekly Prayer List

an Introspective prayer

Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us
grace by the confession of a true faith to
acknowledge you our God as divine community:
Keep us steadfast in this faith that our community life
may mirror the love of your divine community.
O Lover; who with the Beloved and the Love-Sharer
live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
