Weekly Bible Study: Tuesdays at 11am in the Parish Hall.
Every Sunday, those who love to sing, you are invited to gather in Church at around 9:30am to practice the hymns we will be singing that Sunday. Everyone is welcome!
Sunday, May 5th, 11:30am-1pm: Chili Cook-off – We’ll set out a volunteer sheet and entry forms after the April 7th service. We’ll be looking for people to bring chips, salsa, drinks and of course chili! If you’d like to sign up before then, just let us know. Don’t forget to give your chili a catchy name!

What does it mean when you say “All Are Welcome”?
It’s what makes us as an Episcopal church – the idea that all are welcome in our church, at our table. No matter your orientation, denomination, race, ethnicity, political beliefs, what has happened in your past – we come here together to worship and share in fellowship and love, just as Jesus taught us.
