Initially, Michelle will be responsible for grades 1-6 on Wednesday evenings. She will also be directing VBS (Vacation Bible School) for next summer. Thank you to Deborah Bess for her willingness to provide religious education leadership until Micelle was hired.

Thank You For Your Generosity! Stewardship Note In today’s Gospel, Jesus compares the beginning of God’s kingdom to a mustard seed. This tiny seed, which fits in the palm of a hand, can grow to fifteen feet with sprawling branches! Like the mustard seed, the Christian community had a tiny, seemingly insignificant beginning. The church, which began with about 120 followers, added three thousand people on Pentecost Day following the descent of the Holy Spirit. Since then, the number of Christ’s disciples has grown incalculably and continues to grow throughout the world. Good stewards go about God’s business of “planting seeds” among all those they encounter. What will we do this week to add to God’s kingdom?
Thank You Last week an anonymous donation of $4,000 was received to satisfy the balance needed to purchase a new stove for the hall. The donation was made in honor of all those parishioners who work tirelessly providing food and meals for our parish. We thank this benefactor for their exceptional generosity!
