A Sabbatical Prayer

Guide us, Lord, as we all journey through the months ahead together. 
Help us to walk trustingly in faith with our parish family and to serve one another humbly.
 May we always be aware of your presence and direction in all we do.
Be with Kristin+, Zachary, and Jasper and give them joy and contentment as they travel, and return them safely to us. Amen.

Scouts

 

 

 

For the remainder of the year we are selling camp cards to fund raise for the troop.  For $5 you get a coupon card that is good for discounts to places like Ace Hardware,Jiffy Lube, Great Clips, Wendy’s, Sonic, Sky Zone, Popeyes, Medieval Times, Tractor Supply and More. You could make your money back with just one use and they make great gifts. They benefit the scouts in the troop to help them pay for summer camp and troop activities.  Please consider helping us out by purchasing some.  You can reach out to Scoutmaster Bill Cunnane (billcunnane@hotmail.com) and he can bring some to Sunday service or we deliver them.  Here is a general picture of both sides of the card –
