We are overjoyed to report that we have exceeded our stretch goal of $800,000 for Building Our Future, our capital campaign to restore the rectory. As of March 1, we have raised $801,730!
We wish to thank everyone who has given so generously to the future of this parish! If you have not yet pledged, you still have time: pledge cards and envelopes are in the parish hall and narthex and available online. We will bless the pledges on Sunday, March 26, at the 11:00 service.
Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Ed Chinery on the Fourth Sunday of Advent, December 21, 2025.
This week, the rector reflects on Advent’s invitation to hope when circumstances feel bleak or overwhelming. Drawing on Isaiah’s story of King Ahaz and Matthew’s account of Joseph, she explores the tension between realism and trust—between protecting ourselves from disappointment and daring to imagine what God might do. These texts challenge us to notice where cynicism or caution keeps us from hope, and to consider the risks of faithful dreaming. Advent asks whether we can trust that God is truly with us, even in the messiness and brokenness of our world.
