LOVE IN ACTION

Mission & Outreach

Committee recruiting new members

The Mission & Outreach Committee is beginning to recruit its new class of incoming members. The M&O Committee determines how a substantial portion of St. B's Love in Action funds are spent, maintains relationships with our mission and outreach partners, and engages our parish in volunteering in our community.

We seek a diversity of ages and tenures at St. B's. Contact Chair Tom Mahan for more information or to express interest.

COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS

A look back at the week that was...

On Sunday, 23 families from our “456” atrium attended the 4th Annual Fall Family Cookout! It was a HOT afternoon, but always so good to be together! A huge thanks to Jared Danford for running the grill with the help of Kevin Seale and Andy Michel, as well as all of the kids and parents who helped with tents and food! See more photos on Facebook or Instagram.

Also, in worship on Sunday, three children were baptized. We pray for their continued growth and spiritual development. If you are interested in learning more about baptism, please contact Fr. Josh.
