In our parish hall is a question box with forms and pens.  If you ask a question and sign your name it will be answered in a way that benefits our community of faith.  You may not be the only person with that burning question about the Christian faith, our liturgy, our budget, our vestry minutes, our common life together, etc.  Ask and you will receive an answer, but you must sign your name. So ask away.

Thank you to those of you who contributed to the UTO Ingathering. The total amount raised was $273.21.

Father Adrian’s new cell phone # is 315-436-4020.
