Don’t forget that even if you can’t be there, you can still register, raise funds, and even join a team as a Virtual Walker. See the website for more information.

Would you like to become more involved in Sunday worship? Helping to prepare the altar, welcoming newer folks, reading lections, serving as an acolyte, or hosting a coffee hour all enrich the worship for both you and others. Speak with our seminarian, Emily Papke-Larson, if you are interested.
