It’s time to begin collecting books for children attending Taft Elementary School, grades K – 5 as a Christmas gift. Please drop off books through December 15th. We hope to again provide every child with three books each!
As we prepare for Christmas this year, let us also remember those who are in need.
Beginning December 1st through December 23rd, just place one item a day in a bag to be delivered to the church before January 11th.

ASH WEDNESDAY February 17th @ 4 pm Packets have been mailed to parish members. Join us on Facebook Live.
FRIDAY’s @ 12:00 pm Be intentional this Lent and join us on Facebook Live for Stations of the Cross.
LENTEN STUDY @ 7 pm Dr. Steven Geitgey will lead us in a study on Facebook Live discussing Anglican Spiritual Writers
For the Wednesdays of Lent we will be considering and discussing great spiritual writings and examples from pre- and post-reformation England and the treasure they have for us today. We’ll be given contemplative guidance by The Cloud of Unknowing and The Book of Privy Counsel; be blessed by the beautiful insights of Julian of Norwich; hear about the Ferrar family’s “monastic” life at Little Gidding while reading poems by frequent Little Gidding visitor Richard Crashaw and Ferrar family friend George Herbert; meet a few of the exiled Benedictine nuns and learn of their struggle to maintain English spiritual traditions in France; listen to the wisdom of the Cambridge Platonist John Smith, whose name may sound generic but whose guidance isn’t; and even find out about a group of early eighteenth-century Scottish Episcopal mystics! And we’ll consider together what their words and actions can mean for us in our day-to-day twenty-first century lives. All are welcome to join us.
