Help Us Beautify Our Church & Preschool Entrance!

Our entrance is due for a little TLC, and we would love your help to make it shine! We are tackling a few landscaping projects to refresh the space, including:


  • Rock & Gravel Refresh: Removing old gravel, laying down a new weed barrier, and topping it off with fresh stone.


  • Walkway Cleanup: Clearing out the patchy grass between the walkway and parking lot to make room for fresh topsoil and sod.



  • Playground Border: Removing the rocks around the playground fence to transition the area into a lush, grassy space.


Want to lend a hand? You don’t need to join a large group; we can coordinate individual times so everyone stays on the same page. We have buckets and wheelbarrows on-site, but please bring your own shovels and rakes.

To volunteer or get more details, please contact Heather at heather.pontonio@gmail.com.

Vespers Service

Life’s preoccupations are relentless in pursuing our total attention.

But in every circumstance, God’s presence is assured and is nearer to us than our own breath. Amidst the static, in silence, God’s voice emerges, calming our hearts, satisfying our longing. So, come away and rest a while with Evening Prayer and be reminded that the only thing that can name you is God’s love. 

 

Please join us tonight Wednesday, April 29 at 6:30 p.m.

The Book Club will meet on Tuesday, April 28 at 1PM. We meet in the church office reception area.


All are welcome. Reading our book

choices is not a requirement. Join our discussion and help choose our next reading.

We chose two books this month.

Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen and The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah.

Please join us and share your thoughts on our choices.

Blessing of the Baby Blankets and Hats

We will be blessing the baby blankets and hats on Mother's Day, May 10th. I will be putting them out on the front row seats (as I have always done) on Wednesday, May 6th. 

Please leave them on the round table in the church office with my name on them. Thanks so much.
