We look forward to praying, singing, and sharing community together.
Whether you are a longtime parishioner, a visitor, or joining us from the Merging Waters community, you are warmly welcome.

COULD THIS BE YOUR MINISTRY?
Our parish is looking for a Safe Church Coordinator—someone to help us continue creating a safe and caring space for all. The role involves coordinating background checks, sharing Safe Church information, and supporting our parish in following best practices. If this speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you!
PRAYER REQUESTS
Each month we refresh the prayer requests.
Please email the office should you wish to add or renew someone on the prayer list. We bring our prayers to God, whether for ourselves or for others, knowing that God responds to our request.
We ask that you seek permission from the person you wish us to pray for before submitting the name. Only first names will be read out during the service to help preserve privacy.
FUNDSCRIP
It costs you nothing extra: you receive the full value of the card, and the church receives a small rebate from the retailer.
If you’d like to support this easy ongoing fundraiser, visit www.fundscrip.com and use our invitation code J6HC44 to get started.
They make great gifts all year long and they’re also perfect for everyday groceries and gas.
