Wishful Thinking

Remember the Wish List posted in the Parish Hall? If you don't, don't feel bad. It has been unchanged for so long that we tend to walk by it without looking at it. The Vestry has taken note of this phenomenon and is in the process of updating it. Be on the look out for new wishes... and if there's a wish you'd like included, tell a Vestry member!

Communion for the Homebound

Trained Lay Ministers are available to bring communion to those who are homebound and cannot come to church. Call the church office if this ministry is needed by someone you know.

Bishop's BBQ and Silent Auction

A silent auction will be held at the Bishop's BBQ, which will take place Memorial Day weekend at the Gray Center.

Items are needed for the auction, and all proceeds will go to the different projects, imrovements, and ministries at the Duncan M. Gray Center. Please consider donating any of the following: art work; jewelry; items you have made, such as knitted scarves, hats, etc.; vacation stays; tickets to sporting events; gift certificates; or any service or product you would like to donate! Contact the Gray Center.
