A huge THANK-YOU ...
to the parishioners and Outreach Committee of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Tequesta, Florida.

As their annual Lenten project this year, Good Shepherd is raising funds to help the congregation of St. Raphael replace contents lost in Hurricane Ian. In addition to raising funds for replacing Prayer Books and Hymnals, Marilyn Lawrence, chairperson of Outreach at Good Shepherd, is making connections for us with other resources that may be available in the Diocese of Southeast Florida for refurbishing St. Raphael's.

We look forward to meeting folks from Good Shepherd when they come for a visit in the near future! Again, thank-you, dear new-found friends in Christ!
Join us on the Island for Holy Eucharist tomorrow
The Third Sunday of Lent
March 12, 10:00 am in the Memorial Garden at St. Raphael's
And remember --
Daylight Savings Time begins tomorrow!
Don't be late for church!

Bring your own lawn chair!
Forecast: Sunny, 73 degrees
