As we near the holiday season we ask for parishioners to keep our CHOW clients in their thoughts, as many of them rely on CHOW for meals for their families. We are currently in need of toiletries (full-size bottles of shampoo, lotions, etc), toothpaste and toothbrushes, toilet paper, diapers, and female hygiene products.
Donations via our donation page or check are also welcome.
Connie, our parishioner who worked closely with CHOW is now battling cancer. In place of meals for her and her family, she has requested donations for the CHOW pantry.

Pledges and other donations can be mailed to the church. If you do not have envelopes, we will use the name on your check.

A Prayer to honor Indigenous Peoples Month
|
|
Let me not look away, O God, from any truth I should see. Even if it is difficult, let me face the reality in which I live. I do not want to live inside a cosseted dream, imagining I am the one who is always right, or believing only what I want to hear. Help me to see the world through other eyes, to listen to voices distant and different, to educate myself to the feelings of those with whom I think I have nothing in common. Break the shell of my indifference. Draw me out of my prejudices and show me your wide variety. Let me not look away. Amen

The Greatest of These is Love
|
|
|
This week's reflection on a favorite Bible verse is by Vestry member Dr. Leah Cunningham. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.1 Corinthians 13:13 To start, this Bible verse represents something complete in itself and unadulterated . The three tenets of faith, hope, and love are pure. They come from the …
