Even responses that indicate a decrease in the amount you intend to pledge enable the Vestry to finalize the 2023 budget. | |
Please reach out to the Parish Administrator, Cathleen Dolt or 972-233-1898 x230) with any questions or if you need assistance with your pledge. | |

Nurturing Faith Through Fiction
Join us in the Parlor at 7:00pm on January 26 to take part in a fun way to explore your faith experience. High quality fiction, whether in the form of a book or a film, has power to shape our understanding of and attitudes toward life. Each month we gather to discuss a novel - or to watch and discuss a movie - in light of its meaning for our own lives, our life together and our faithfulness to Christ.
