Our beloved parishioner Stacey Carpenter has finished her first year at the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas. She will spend the summer in Olympia, Washington, doing Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) as a hospital chaplain. Next Sunday June 7, after the 11 AM service, she will join us via Zoom to tell us what this past year has been like, how her sense of vocation has grown and developed, and what she is learning and looking forward to in the next few months. Please join us!

Parish News: February 1
This week, Mother Liz reflects on Paul’s challenging words about the cross as “the power of God,” especially amid violence, injustice, and fear in our own time. She wrestles with what faithful discipleship looks like when state power abuses the vulnerable and speaking truth carries real risk. The message of the cross, she reminds us, calls us to costly solidarity, mercy, and nonviolent love — not comfort or safety. Yet in that “foolishness,” we discover God’s strength: life-giving grace found in community, courage, and small acts of faithful love that sustain us when we are afraid or weary.
