THIS SUNDAY: Church on the Green is Church on the Beach!
We're celebrating Earth Stewardship Sunday on April 24!

Let's meet for a beach clean-up on Sunday afternoon. Meet at Jupiter Beach Park, 1375 Jupiter Beach Road, 33477 at 3:30 and then we will have a Eucharist at 5:00 at the Beach Pavilion (across the footbridge).

We are partnering with the Beach Bucket Foundation for permits, materials, and instruction for this event and a donation toward their environmental stewardship efforts would be greatly appreciated.
