It's the First Sunday of the Month!

At 9 am Sunday, children up to grade 5 will meet in the Godly Play room.

Adults will meet in the parish hall and Valori† will have a discussion on saints.

All Saints' is a major Feast Day in the Episcopal Church and celebrates saints known and unknown. Each service on Sunday will begin with a litany of saints. Saint names that are ancient and modern. Saint names you will know and some you will not know.

At the conclusion of the 10 am service we will gather in the Memorial Garden to read the names of saints you sent in. Click here for that leaflet.

STEWARDSHIP 2024

Pledge season is drawing to a close. NEXT Sunday, November 12 we ask that you bring your pledge cards to church, if you are able. After the peace, we will bring our cards to the front to be blessed.

Your generous donations have allowed us to accomplish much in 2023 and we are hopeful 2024 will be the same!

If you wish to pledge online, you may use this link for an online pledge card. We will also have a QR code in the bulletins linked to the online pledge card.

You've heard from several different people about their stewardship thoughts and practices, and you have your own thoughts and practices. ALL amounts and all practices are necessary to make a whole!

Pray for our friends on the reservation and all the people of Parmelee.

Our building is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm.
