Food Pantry

We are so grateful for the continued generosity of our parish to the Open Cupboard Food Pantry. Their staff often expresses their appreciation for our non-stop efforts to support families and senior citizens in the community. As a reminder, we are asking for any healthy, non-perishable food item. Suggestions range from cereal to juice to canned soups and vegetables. Please note, too, that the Food Pantry accepts gift cards and checks, if you find this an easier way to donate to their services.

Preparing for Sunday

(Lectors & Interc essor)

Find the lessons appointed for Sunday here >

Sunday’s readings remind us that God dwells with God’s people. In Acts, Paul’s preaching brings about the conversion of Lydia, who opens her home to Paul and Timothy. John, in his Revelation, imagines life in the new Jerusalem, where the Lord will be our temple, our sun and moon, our life. In the gospel, Jesus promises us the continuing presence of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit.
