Consider sponsoring coffee hour one Sunday in the month of your birthday; contact the Rev. Mel Soriano and sign up on the bulletin board in the fountain courtyard.

Children and Youth Chapel will be available at the 10.00 am service. We welcome the children and youth to the CYF Room after the opening acclamation and return during the peace. Children who come dressed in trick-or-treat costumes will receive a blessing and a treat for their journey.

Happy Birthday to all members of the congregation who are celebrating this week, especially Krystal Palma, Sharlett Rene, Evadney Edelson.

Journey Through the BCP

11.30 a.m. to 12.15 p.m.

Attend a special six-meeting journey through the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), a cornerstone of Episcopal identity and a deep well of wisdom for worship and daily life. Especially relevant for those thinking about baptism or confirmation.

Each week, participants will gather after the 10.00 a.m. service during coffee hour to explore the history, theology, and spiritual rhythms of the Prayer Book and learn practical ways to use it as a guide for prayer, reflection, and daily devotion. Sessions will skip Thanksgiving weekend. Bring coffee, curiosity, and questions!
