PARISH NEWS & UPCOMING EVENT
From the Pastor 12 JAN 2020
– Today we celebrate the Baptism of our Lord and the end of the Christmas season. Again, we thank all who helped decorate and will help clean up. We appreciate your time and dedication.
– We beg God for peace at this time with all that is happening in our world. We pray for peace, are people of peace and live with the peace of Christ alive in our heart, mind and soul.
– Be assured of our daily prayers for you and your family.
In Christ,
