Collection barrel in Narthex

Look for the collection barrel in our Narthex from the Community Services League (CSL) for the collection of supplies for the new school year. Monetary donations are also accepted.

We'll be collecting supplies until August 10. Supplies will be distributed to eligible students at CSL's Back to School Fair at their office located at 200 SE 10th Street in Blue Springs on Tuesday, August 12. We appreciate your support!

Thank you Garden Angels!

Many, many thanks to our Garden Angels who worked very hard this week to landscape the back of the church. It looks beautiful!

Become an expert

Welcome to a new fun feature of our weekly e-mail!

The long history of our Church has led to the accumulation of many terms that one may or may not hear regularly. Some members of the church delight in using these words. Others may be confounded by their use and meaning. The good news is that once you’ve learned a few of them, you can join in the fun as well!

Today we'll tackle three words at once . . .that's because to define one word, we often have to use other Episcopal terms too.

Apostolic Succession: The doctrine that the authority and the mission given by Jesus to the Apostles have descended in a direct and unbroken line of bishops to the bishops of today through the laying on of hands.

Bishop: The chief pastor of a diocese and guardian of the faith of the Church.

Laying on of Hands: That part of the ordination service in which hands are laid on the head of the ordinand to manifest the giving of the Holy Spirit and empowerment for ministry.
