Message from Our Rector: Welcome to our website—which is but one of the doors to our church, to our community, to our shared life in Christ. I hope you find what you are looking for here, friend, because we all are searching for something. If it is just information—well, here you will find plenty of that: schedules, history, who’s who and what’s what. But I hope it is more. I hope that you are looking for God, or have good news about where God has been recently!
The news around here is that Christ is risen, the tomb is empty, and some folks have seen him around. Some of the news on that score is pretty old now, published a couple of millennia ago. But Jesus himself said God is God not of the dead but the living—and the angels asked the women on the first Easter morning why they were looking for the living among the dead, since Jesus was no longer in the tomb, but risen. So I guess the instruction is clear: look for God among the living!
That’s what we are trying to do. We use the Bible, the sacraments and all of the great Tradition of the Church as tools, as clues, as hints to a great mystery: where to find God now, in our time, among the living, young and old. Come join us. We have a great master and Lord to follow. We have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide and challenge and comfort us. We have a good community of friends and a beautiful place to worship and work in. And, most of all, we have a great mission: to join Christ in the work of reconciliation and new creation. Come on in!
