Mission Statement - To love God and to love people; and in response to that call, to be a loving, safe, spiritual home where the seeker is welcome to begin the road to spiritual growth, and where those who believe are supported to follow the path of Jesus and to mature in faith. We join together to express our love of God through our service to others. We are ordinary people joyously celebrating the opportunity to follow Jesus' radical message of unconditional love and to live the beatitudes.

Meal-in-bag updateFor the month of May we donated 27 bags. They were very much needed and appreciated. The program will continue with monthly donations from parishioners.
Please note that other than potatoes and onions do not include any perishable food items in the bags. Thank you for your ongoing support.
Community News
1. Updates on the Greenwood Tower ministry. Many of the residents are weathering the summer heat without air conditioning or even a fan. If you can donate a fan, please let Brigit know.
2. AUGUST 4 — KINGDOM BOUND FESTIVAL — the closest major Christian music festival to our area shares a space with a theme park, but the music line-up makes up for it.

Find Your Thankful Self
Sometimes you feel you're nothing at all,
And that's all you'll ever be.
You study all your defects;
An empty life is all you see.
Instead of looking at what you haven't got,
Seeing only what you lack,
Focus on your blessings,
And get right back on track.
There are many good things about being you;
Count them one by one.
Your life has lots of comforts,
While others, they have none.
Many people have it much, much worse
Yet they have happiness.
They take joy in little things
They're thankful, though they have less.
Lift your spirits up right now;
Get out of that depression.
Find your thankful self,
And give it full expression.
Find the joy in little things;
Focus on fun and laughter.
See life's blessings all around,
And live happily ever after!
