Free Breakfast & Pet Blessing (222.68K)
Saturday, October 21, 2023
We had a huge, delicious country breakfast, free for everyone, and drop-in pet blessing in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. It was fairly well attended, but again we were late on getting the word out and needed more personal invitations rather than, or in addition to, our print advertising. Five pets blessed and 25+ people fed.

"Crosses" Rev Martha for 4 Lent 
Sunday, March 10, 2024
Crosses in the attic, crosses in my cart, crosses all around us, crosses in our heart. (The first 1 minute and 14 seconds of this homily is without sound :(
"Learning from Temples" Rev Deb for 3 Lent 2024 
Sunday, March 3, 2024
Temples may be beautiful but we shouldn't focus on the buildings. Our bodies are temples for the Lord. Let God dwell in our hearts. And through the grace of that indwelling, take the Good News out to the world.

Sunday, February 25, 2024
