Grateful for our roots and excited for our future! This Founders' Day, we celebrated the rich history of our parish and the beautiful reminder of what it means to be church—together in faith, hope, and love. 💒✨ #FoundersDay

Praying for our nation. #ElectionDay #Episcopal

Election Day is here, and we invite you to join us in prayer, to lift up our emotions, our anxieties, and the well-being of our country into the hands of the One who holds it all. We hope these three prayers help you to surrender what we cannot control.

Highlights from Grace School Sunday! 🙏 We are so grateful for our relationship with Grace School and loved having the students and their families join us for worship. The children truly light up our services with their joyful presence! ✨

Heartbreaking.
