The Reign of Christ
This Sunday is the final Sunday of the church year.

Believe it or not, the next Sunday is the First Sunday of Advent.
We will gather this Sunday to celebrate the reign of Christ and his victory over death, and yet, we await the coming of Christ again in glory.

Over the past couple of Sundays, with photographs and handwritten bits of colored paper, we gathered up the names of all of those who have loved us, taught us, believed in us, nurtured and fed us, blessed us and loved us. 

We made such a beautiful piece of communal art that we decided to leave it up in the Nave for this Sunday too!   
If you didn’t get a chance to add a name or two, you are in luck.  We will continue to add names this coming week and next as we continue to give thanks for all those who have gone before us.  

Join us this Sunday as our eucharistic prayer says, “in that chorus of praise that rings through eternity.” 

See you Sunday – and bring a friend!

Food Pantry
The D2 Pantry (formerly known as The B Street Pantry), has moved to Stratmoor Hills Elementary and we are newly committing to serving the Pantry.

John Wilhite, our Community Liaison, met with Debra Mitguard to discuss their needs. Currently, they are requesting non-perishable food and personal items.

Starting this Sunday, November 20, we will begin collecting donations.

Each Sunday, we will bring them to the altar, where they will be blessed along with the people who will receive them, and the Pantry workers who will distribute them.

Items will be delivered to D2 Pantry on Tuesdays. This will be an ongoing ministry.

Shopping lists are in the Narthex.

For more info: please see John or Susan Garsoe.
