Inclement Weather Policy
It's the time of year when we must be prepared for inclement weather. We wanted
to take an opportunity to share the most
effective way to learn whether the church
services have been canceled. We of course trust each of you
will make the best decisions in regards to your safety, especially those living further from the church. Peace and blessings!

Strength, and Mind.” This study provides
daily readings and suggestions for reflection and action, inviting you to engage
fully in your Lenten journey—with heart,
soul, strength, and mind. We will gather
for soup and salad at 6:30 for dinner and 7:00 to feed
our souls. Sign up will be at our website and
in the parish hall at the information table
where you can pick up your "Living Well
through Lent 2015" and the Episcopal Relief
and Development Lenten meditations booklets, they're great resources for our holy journey. Class dates are March 4, 11, 18 and 25.
