Q. What is Confirmation?

A. Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. In the course of their Christian development, those baptized at an early age are expected, when they are ready and have been duly prepared, to make a mature public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism and to receive the laying on of hands by the bishop. — The Book of Common Prayer

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BOOK CLUB

The Wednesday Night Book Club is a casual and friendly group open to anyone. We read and discuss books from a variety of genres, and we would love for YOU to join us in the conversations. We meet from 6:00-7:00pm, usually on the 4^th Wednesday of the month here at the church.

We served 91 Hagar’s families in our September drive through pantry! As we prepare for next month’s pantry, we find a need for laundry detergent with caps securely tightened to avoid spills in the collection bin. We always appreciate your kind donations of detergent, deodorant, toilet tissue, wipes, diapers, toothpaste, tooth brushes, feminine hygiene pads, and soap! Please check out our link below to donate and to volunteer!
