We are a Parish filled with folks of many different backgrounds and experiences. We are both young & old and we do have our differences at times, and don’t always think alike.
Yet our common bond in Christ provides harmony for the many varying “notes” that we provide, and focuses this harmony to the to service of God and to His purposes.
We do recognize and honor all the saints and souls who have lived and loved, laughed and cried, celebrated and sorrowed together in this Parish since its birth almost 150 years ago. Down through the years, the torch of faith has been passed from generation to generation, a torch that we do now accept as we explore a new century of common life together with God as our Light, Christ as our guide and redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as our sustainer.
As St. Paul tells us, “We are the Body of Christ”. Who we are, then, can never be called into question. The question that we are then left to wrestle with as Christians is how might we best reflect that particular identity in our community and in our world.
