Two Incredible Women

This Sunday will be doubly incredible. First, we welcome the Rt. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, former presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, as she joins us at the 10:30 AM service for baptisms, confirmations, and receptions. And that’s not all! We will also be welcoming back our beloved rector, the Rev. Dr. Kate Cress, from her sabbatical.

Thinking About the Cross

The Cross is one of the greatest mysteries of our faith. It is the junction of so many emotions: pain and joy, desolation and hope. Join Bishop Frank and Father Jon this Lent as they examine the many facets of the Cross using Sam Wells’s book Hanging by a Thread: The Questions of the Cross. Classes conclude this Wednesday at 7PM via Zoom.
