Senior Warden, Charles Brooks runs the livestream of our worship at a recent service.
This week we conclude our Cherished Belonging series just as Sunday's Gospel gives us the parable of the sower. Over the past several weeks we've reflected on Fr. Gregory Boyle's conviction that every person belongs because every person is unshakably good. This Sunday, Jesus reminds us that God's work often begins quietly, through seeds planted in ordinary moments that grow in ways we cannot always see.
Perhaps that's what parish life is like. We worship together, share meals, learn, pray, serve our neighbors, and trust that God is doing more than we can measure. We'd love for you to be part of it.
HELP FILL A BACKPACK, BUILD A FUTURE
As we hear Jesus' parable of the sower this Sunday, we're reminded that even small acts of generosity can bear fruit far beyond what we can see.
Through Sunday, July 26, we're collecting markers, colored pencils, and 24-count crayons for Pencil Box to help local students begin the school year ready to learn. Financial gifts are also welcome by noting "Pencil Box" on your check or online gift.
A few boxes of crayons may seem like a small thing, but for a child walking into a classroom on the first day of school, they can be a reminder that someone believes in them.
