UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS
We invite you to join us in the parish hall after the 10 a.m. service on Sunday, November 7, as we celebrate the Giving Campaign for 2022. We will have a catered brunch from The Traveling Chef which will include a breakfast casserole (meat and vegetarian options), and the committee will provide salad, fruit pastries, and beverages. RSVPs are a must. You may RSVP by using this link here, or contact the church office at 866-5133.
The Outreach Committee will host our Thanksgiving Community Dinner to-go on Thursday, November 18. We will pack a meal filled with turkey, ham, whipped potatoes and gravy, seasoned green beans, relish, rolls and a slice of pie. The dinner will be delivered to our waiting guests outside the parish hall doors.
The senior youth will help with the dinner, but we will also need help from volunteers. Due to the weather, shorter daylight, and the need for our guests to find shelter, our meal will start at 4 p.m.
If you would like to help, you may do so by donating clothing such as coats, gloves and hoodies. Please drop them off at the church office. We will also accept donations of cash and checks to help cover the cost of the dinner If you would like to contribute money towards the dinner, please place it in an envelope and leave it in the collection plate or church office with a note or with “community dinner” on the memo line.
If you have questions, would like to volunteer, or are interested in serving on the Outreach Committee please contact the church office at 866-5133.

RECURRING ACTIVITIES
Episcopal Campus Ministry (ECM) strives to offer deeper experiences in the faith journeys of college students through worship, fellowship, and vocational discernment. ECM is a lively place for mentoring the Christian formation of both seekers and those who grew up in Episcopal churches. At weekly ECM meetings, students are recognized, challenged, supported, inspired, and engaged in honest dialogue around their faith in order to foster their potential. We provide a culture where students can imagine and explore new possibilities for ministry. These imagined possibilities are necessary for the continued vitality of the church and for God’s mission in the world. Through campus ministry, we equip students with the tools for facing the tough ethical, moral, religious, relational, and ecological challenges of a complex world.
