Senior Warden's notes
Sr. Warden: We are not sitting on our hands, dear Lord.
You’ve heard me say this for several years now. A small church can still do great things to honor and glorify God, to do good work in his name in our community. And this article has 3 recent good news stories to share.

Senior Warden’s note: March 2026
“Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” I thought about that Gospel verse from Mathew on my drive home from our recent Shrove Tuesday sausage and pancake dinner on Feb. 17. Not sure why. The Vestry members once again, just as in so many...
Senior Warden’s note: February 2026
