Summer Parish Projects
We are in need of several generous volunteers who can share their time and talent to help complete some small small work projects for the school, Activity Center, and Rectory facilities. The document below lists the tasks for this Summer. If you can donate some of your time to help, please contact Jim Mitsch or Jerry Ling (contact information is available in the document).

Project Updates
The following document contains the most recent status of the work progress. Thanks to all of our volunteers for the great work so far!
Parish Library
The feature this week is a book: Living in the Power of Pentecost by Bishop Joseph McKinney.

With plenty of personal anecdotes and lively examples, Bishop Joseph McKinney urges us to grow closer to Jesus by yielding to the power of His Spirit. Here is clear, practical counsel on what it means to live each day in the power and the presence of the Spirit to enable us to pray consistently, to exercise healing power, and to lead others to Christ. Best of all, Bishop McKinney offers a helpful approach of making Scripture a daily and powerful part of our prayer life.
Thank You!
Too many ‘Thank You’s’ to share. I simply offer “Thank you to everyone for locking arms and making this celebration possible”. The numbers look better than last year and we will provide them a little later on.
