Hello faith family! This is the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, July 30, 2023, Year A.

Weekly News

See our Carpenter’s Helper Newsletter for this week with news on the Community Health Fair and thank you from the Property Committee.

This week we celebrate The Philadelphia Eleven: eleven women who were the first women ordained as priests in the Episcopal Church on July 29, 1974, two years before General Convention affirmed and explicitly authorized the ordination of women to the priesthood.

Also, there are flower dedications available for the next few Sundays. Please let the office know if you have anything you’d like to celebrate or memorialize.

Other Parish Events

The church is aware that some of its members are struggling to make ends meet. If you are in this situation, please let the clergy know of your needs, pray for the church, and feel no guilt about your giving. But if you are able to give, options for giving include mailing a check to our church or online giving.
