Holy Land Pilgrimage: Postponed
Dear friends, I’m writing with a very heavy heart to share my decision to postpone our pilgrimage to the Holy Land to a future year, as yet to be determined. I’ve heard from many folks, and so I know that this will probably not come as a surprise. And, I know it is still a…

Often, however, our reality is one of brokenness. When we bring that brokenness of body, mind, or spirit before God we open ourselves to…
Exploring Change Together
From the Rector Over the winter and spring, we’ve been experimenting with a few key elements of our worship: how the sanctuary is set up, and how we make music together. In January, we turned the chairs into the round, with the altar set as the focal point at our center so that we were…
