Cross Painting, Palm Sunday, April 13th

During our coffee hour after worship on Palm Sunday, we painted wooden crosses.  We let them sit to dry, then on the 2nd Sunday of Easter (April 27th) we held them up as we sang the hymn "Lift High The Cross" at the end of worship.  People were then free to take their crosses home, or leave them on lend to the church.  Those crosses that remained then became the display for our new votive candle table in our nave.  What a beautiful project for both young and old!  

St. Patrick's Dinner, March 16th

December 15th - Christmas Decorating

Many hands made for light work when we decorated for Christmas!  Wreaths were hung, lights put in the windows, the creche assembled and the tree put up and decorated.  After we were done we enjoyed a potluck lunch!  Thank you to everyone who helped and brought food to share!

November 23rd - Turkey Drive

Every November we hold a special food drive focused on collecting food for Thanksgiving, including frozen turkeys.  This year we collected 14 turkeys and a ham as well as filling 4 crates of food which went to Center for Food Action.  We are thankful for everyone who donated to help make the holiday a little brighter for our needy neighbors.

We had a wonderful group of furry and not-furry friends for our annual Blessing of the Animals this year.  We had five dogs, two cats, a guinea pig and a bearded dragon join us in thanking God for our animal companions.  Each pet and their owner received a prayer of blessing.
