This Week in the Church Calendar

Thank you for your continued support of the mission and ministry of St Alban's Anglican Church. The Vestry and Staff of our Parish work very hard to keep our expenses at a bare minimum, ensuring that we are being good stewards of the resources we have been given. We do not make money our focus, but it would be equally wrong to never ask for support. The work of the Church requires the faithful generosity of her members, who give of themselves in love for the life of the world.
