Super Typhoon "Sinlaku" Impacts Guam & Saipan: Prayers & Donations Needed


Compassionate God, source of all comfort, we pray for the people whose lives have been impacted by Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Bring them comfort, we pray. Protect the vulnerable. Strengthen the weak. Have mercy on all those working to rebuild. And may our response to their suffering be generous and bring you praise. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

HNC Photography Ministry

needs Shutterbugs!


  • To help with storytelling.
  • To document church life.
  • To capture services & community events.
  • To build a digital history.


We all love the photos from our wonderful services and events. But sometimes we get so lost in-the-moment (as we should) that there is no record of the event to enjoy, later.


If you are the kind of person who knows how to whip out that phone and get that shot --

we need you!


Please volunteer to join the

Parish Photog Ministry.


The Parish Administrator will reach out to PPM members and request/ remind them to "capture" an upcoming event.

Do what you can, when you can, any way you can -- have fun with it -- the more the merrier!

All efforts will be greatly appreciated!


Please contact Athena with your ideas and to become a PPM!
