Upcoming Events

Formation Hour: Rule of Life Workshop - Sunday, January 15th
Throughout the history of the church, many Christians have found spiritual nourishment by organizing their daily lives around a rhythm of spiritual practices and habits (sometimes called a “rule of life”), and the beginning of a new year can be a great time to take inventory of our spiritual rhythms. Join us for this workshop immediately after service where Fr. Kyle will help you craft your own unique rule of life for 2023.

We're excited for this opportunity to celebrate God’s faithfulness to our congregation in 2022 and look ahead to what might be in store for 2023! Immediately following service, we will share a meal and fellowship, hear a brief presentation from Fr. Kyle, and vote on affirming our church budget for 2023. The main course will be provided; please sign up to contribute a side dish here. (Please note this event will replace our Monthly Mingle for January.)
