Congratulations to one and all for all that has been accomplished over the past several years. Together we figured out how we were going to worship during the pandemic, completed our capital campaign, and were able to make several needed upgrades to our physical plant. We also discerned and called a new priest, and now it’s time to look forward. 

You may recall the conversations about the reality of calling a part-time priest and the need for us to begin changing the way we look at church and moving toward a more parish-centric model. As we approach the new program year, now is the time to really start living into that model. We all need to consider what talents we have and how we can contribute. 

In the past, we have had a number of various committees all doing great work, but one of the things we recognize and have acknowledged is that we are a small parish, and we need to focus on a few key items and commit to them and do them well.  So, with that in mind, we wanted to remind you earlier this year, we established four key ministries: 

Community, Assets & Physical Resources, Worship & Formation, and Communication

Each ministry has identified several key priorities for 2022, and over the next few weeks, we will be sending out special Constant Contact communications to describe the ministries in more detail so you can determine where you might consider sharing your time and talent.

We are grateful to this community for all of your support, especially these past couple of years, and we invite you to engage more fully with us as we move forward. Our future is bright!
