Adult Formation Returns October 24th |
Mtr. Lisa has begun a new Christian Formation class.
Join us for "Stewardship: More Than Money!" Much like her class on Evangelism, Mtr. Lisa takes a topic that terrifies ordinary Episcopalians and digs into the origins of Stewardship, what it means to be God's steward here on earth, and discusses how we can be God's stewards here and now.

A Prayer For Our Next Bishop |
|
Almighty God, giver of every good gift, we pray that you would look graciously upon the Diocese of Florida, and so guide the minds and hearts of the Nominating Committee as they prayerfully select candidates for the election of the next bishop of this diocese, that we may receive a faithful pastor who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries: Guide also the minds and hearts of the candidates who will come before the Nominating Committee, that this process will be a time of discernment and growth in their lives and ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
|
|
We all need extra prayer sometimes. If you or someone you love is in need of prayer, please submit your prayer request here: Prayer Request. We will publish the prayer list weekly so the entire parish can keep you in their prayers.
