Parish, School & Community News

2012 Bishop’s Appeal   … So far 150 parish families have generously donated $23,000 to support the work and ministry of Christ in our Diocese. Through our church, countless numbers of people come to know the healing love of our God in so many ways. Please consider your contribution today. Envelopes are available in church or at our parish office and may be dropped off at any time. Thank you so much for your support.

Community Garden....
Once again, our parish is hosting the New Earth Community Garden to supply vegetables to our Ecumenical Food Pantry. Read the Book of Revelation about God re-creating a New Heaven and a New Earth to put the name in context. Also, in this enlarged, plowed area, we are offering families a plot to tend for their own use. We'll have it rototilled and you plant, care for and harvest. Sign up at the Parish office if you would like your own space.
Effective immediately, anyone borrowing items from the church (tables, chairs, coffee pots, etc) must sign the items out from the Parish office with either Fr. Tom or Stella. This new rule applies to all groups and individuals alike. Your cooperation is greatly aprpeciated as we strive to become better stewards of all parish resources.

Bulletin Submission Guidelines:  The bulletin deadline for new submissions is noon Tuesday prior to the Sunday of publication. Send e-mail submissions (subject to editing) to: immconcept@roadrunner.com, along with your name and phone number.
