To donate toward both or either, please click the button below and fill out the form at the bottom of the page. You may make your donation “in memory of” or “in thanksgiving for,” and it may include your name or be anonymous. You can also fill out a yellow Easter Offering envelope (in the pews and at the entrances) with all the info as well and include a check inside. You may also email your attributions to Kathryn directly.

All donations are due no later than April 10!

All are invited to attend Charlie Porter’s funeral, which will be held at St. Gregory’s on Saturday, April 26 at 11am. You can read his obituary here.

Stations of the Cross

We will be holding Stations of the Cross on Wednesdays in Lent. The service will be onsite only, starting at 5:30pm. We will not hold it this upcoming Wednesday (Apr 2), as we’ll instead encourage you to attend the Stations and Fish Fry at Trinity on April 4 (see next announcement!). The final Stations will be held on April 9.

April 4: Friday Fish Fry

We’re looking forward to joining our friends at Trinity Episcopal Church in Highland Park NEXT FRIDAY, April 4 for a Stations of the Cross service at 6pm, followed by the annual Fish Fry! View the full flyer here for all details, and then purchase your $10 ticket via the button below.

Where does God find you?

Do you find yourself close to the holy in particular places, or doing particular things? Is there a piece of music, art, film through which the Spirit seems to be saying something to you? Is there a particular practice that strengthens your spirit?

During the Easter Season, we are looking for parishioners who would like to give 10-minute presentations about the unique spaces in this big, beautiful, heartbreaking world where God finds them. If you're interested and would consider presenting (don’t worry, you’re not committed yet!), add your name to the sheet in the Sign-Up Center or click the link below.
