Parish <strong>Report</strong><br />

Wow! What a year! We are a parish family who seeks<br />

the Lord and prayerfully awaits his call. I wish I could<br />

thank each and every person in our parish for their<br />

presence and presents in the sharing of your time<br />

and spiritual gifts. 2018 was a year like no other. Our<br />

missions and ministries continued to thrive throughout<br />

the search and transition process for our permanent<br />

rector. This annual report is a testament to our<br />

commitment to share the Love and Joy of Jesus<br />

Christ in our community and beyond. Thank you for<br />

being a part of our parish family!<br />

Your Sister in Christ,<br />
