Tell Out My Soul!

2026 Stewardship Campaign

As Christians, we are storytellers of God's love. From Creation to Christ, and continuing through us, this love is meant to be shared. Just as Mary and Mary Magdalene were called to spread the Good News, we are also called to share it with joy.

This October, we invite you to participate in our Stewardship Campaign! Each Sunday after worship, join us for fellowship in the parish hall, where you can enjoy breakfast after the early service or lunch after the later service. There will also be fun activities, including a Christian Bingo game.

Don’t miss out on our Psalms & Proverbs Board, featuring 100 squares at $10 each. Prize drawings will be held during the Chili Cook-Off on October 26. Bring a guest and celebrate God’s gifts as we grow together in faith and community!
