News and Updates
Note to Parents Regarding Next Week's Sermon
Parents, next Sunday, February 12, we will be exploring Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount regarding lust and adultery. Because Fr. Kyle’s sermon will discuss topics that are more mature in content, be advised that you may wish to sign your elementary-age children into Cornerstone Kids if you do not yet already do so.
Interested in Confirmation?
If you are interested in being confirmed in the Anglican Communion at our March 12 Confirmation service but have not been part of our Confirmation preparation process, please reach out to Fr. Kyle at koesch@ greenhousemovement.com ASAP for more information. We can get you started on some next so you'll be ready to be received at our special March 12 service.
