A Pastoral Note


All of us have been shocked by the terrible fires raging in Los Angeles this week, and many in our parish have family members who have been affected. Let us continue to pray for all who have lost homes, schools, churches, businesses and their very communities. Our prayers will not be any less needed when the flames are extinguished, as Los Angeles faces the work of restoration and return -- a story we hear so often in scripture. As Jeremiah says, I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. May it be so.


Holy One, you are our comfort and strength

in times of sudden disaster, crisis, or chaos.

Surround us now with your grace and peace

through storm or earthquake, fire or flood.

By your Spirit, lift up those who have fallen,

sustain those who work to rescue or rebuild,

and fill us with the hope of your new creation;

through you, our rock and redeemer

– Jesuit Prayer

11:30 am-2:00 pm

Limelight Hotel ~ Downtown Ketchum


Invitations and Reservation Link Coming Soon! 


Taize Continues on Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m.


Taize is a quiet, meditative, candle-lit service that includes simple chants, spoken prayer, and silent meditation. This season the focus will be on peace in our world. This gentle service attracts seekers and people of many faith traditions, and is a wonderful invitation to extend to those who might not be comfortable in a traditional Sunday service. All are welcome and the service is appropriate for older children as well.


Mid-Week Eucharist Reminder


Take a break in your busy week to enter the peace and quiet of our sanctuary for a brief Eucharist service. It's a chance to stop, breathe, and reflect, and go back to your day refreshed. Every Tuesday at noon.
