This Sunday, January 4:

Children’s Chapel at 10 a.m.
We invite children to gather for singing, stories, and crafts during the first half of Sunday services: Jan 4, 18; Feb 1, 22; Mar 1, 15, 29; Apr 12, 26; May 3, 17.  If you have questions or interest in volunteering to help with Children's Chapel, please contact Cara Hins at [email protected].

DeGreening of the Church at 11:15 a.m.
Help needed. After worship, we will de-green the church following Christmas, and we would love to have help removing garlands, swags, wreaths; taking down creche; returning advent wreaths and manger to attic, etc. We would especially appreciate having volunteers who are handy with tools, tall, and/or comfortable climbing ladders.  No need for prior signups - just plan to remain after the service.  Many hands make light work!

Pledge Envelopes:
If you made your 2026 pledge, and requested pledge envelopes, they are available for pick up in the church Narthex. If you would like pledge envelopes, please contact our Assistant Treasurer: [email protected] 

This week, January 3-10:

January 6 at 6:30 p.m. - Feast of the Epiphany in All Saints Chapel
Come join us for a special Feast of Epiphany worship in our cozy All Saints Chapel on Tuesday, January 6 at 6:30 p.m. Following the worship we'll gather in the Meeting Room for some herbal tea and French King Cake. The cake has a hidden baby figure inside, and the one who discovers it will be made 'Monarch' for the year. This is an opportunity to sing Epiphany hymns, break out our prayer books, and enjoy some time together in community. 

January 7 - Midweek Worship
  • 6 a.m. Morning Prayer on YouTube
  • 10 a.m. Eucharist - Reflecting on Epiphany (readings) in Chapel; then coffee hour. 

January 9 - Due - Annual Ministry Reports

January 11 at 9 a.m. - Budget Presentation with Q&A
We will be offering a detailed budget presentation with the opportunity for question and answer on Sunday, January 11 at 9 a.m. in the Whiteman Room. We hope you will join us. 

Coming Soon

January 25 at 9 a.m. - Community Sunday & Annual Meeting
Our Annual Meeting will be held at 9 a.m. in the Whiteman Room. We anticipate offering a hybrid meeting (using Zoom and our new Owl Lab Meeting equipment - funded by a 2025 diocesan ministry development grant).  Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
