Join Us for Our Parish Annual Celebration on January 29!
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.)
