Our church is moving to a new record-keeping software called Realm, which will improve administrative tasks and enhance connectivity within our church community. The Realm Connect App will replace the EasyTithe Church App, providing 24/7 access to your giving history online. All current members with an email on file will receive an invitation from Realm.

Community Christmas Card 2025

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.”
It’s that blessed time of year again when we prepare our hearts and homes for the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we do each year, we invite you to share your Christmas greetings with our parish family through our Annual Community Christmas Card.
This year, all donations made through the Community Christmas Card will go directly toward replacing the front doors of our church a much-needed project that requires thoughtful planning and support.

As the busy holiday season quickly approaches, we encourage you to make your donation early. Your generosity will help beautify and strengthen the entrance to our spiritual home.
Clearly print the Name you wish to appear on the card.
