To prepare for our Episcopal visitation, Mother Diana will be offering a Q&A after the 10:30am service on December 5th in the Parish Hall.

After that, we will…

October 3, 2021: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Before I start – I am not preaching on the gospel passage today, and it isn’t saying what you may think it is saying. I will post a link to a previous sermon I did on this with today’s sermon, and…
