A Word from the Clergy
by the Right Reverend Dean E. Wolfe, Rector
Christians remember. That’s what we do. We remember the ancient stories from generations long past. We remember parting seas, burning bushes, manna from heaven. We remember the promise given to Mary, the assurance given to Joseph, and the child who became the man who changed everything. Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. We remember all the old, old stories. They are the building blocks of what we believe and who we are. We can never forget.

If you are a morning person, we need you! Volunteers are needed to cook a delicious breakfast for our guests, serve the meal in go-to bags, or clean up after. Thanks to an exciting new partnership with Rethink Food, we are transitioning from serving a modest breakfast to offering hot meals on Saturday mornings. Perhaps you've not been up for the "crack of dawn" crews that serve our weekday breakfast? Well, this is a chance to get in the game at a more reasonable hour. The shift runs from 8:30 am to 11 am, and we need five volunteers each Saturday. Learn more and volunteer today.
