Looking Toward the Future

Please take a brief 5-minute online survey |
As part of the Vestry’s ongoing discernment about the ministries and facilities we share, we invite you to take a brief 5-minute survey. Some important maintenance projects are on the horizon, and we’re exploring how we might address them in ways that also enhance our physical space and its functionality. Your feedback will help us understand priorities and discern potential next steps. Thank you for taking a few moments to share your thoughts!

A Prayer for Radical Hospitality
|
God of the empty tomb and the Emmaus road, awaken us and open our lives to your presence. We long to step fully into new life and to recognize you in all whom we meet. As we come into your presence, remove from us all that separates us from our neighbors. Show us how to be your people, a people of radical hospitality, a people welcoming all human differences knowing that in you we are all made perfect. We come before you ready to leave behind darkness and emptiness, willing to have our eyes opened to seeing you in the faces around us. Meet us here as we worship you that we may experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

– The Rev. Dr. Rachael Keefe
