The Gospel lesson for this Sunday (8\/04) reminds us that in addition to taking care of our physical needs, God also makes provision for our spiritual needs. Join us at 9:30 am for the celebration of Holy Eucharist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christian Formation Spiritual Gifts Class Postponed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***Note: We will NOT have Sunday School the first two weeks of August.***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resuming of our Sunday morning formation classes has been postponed by a couple of weeks; but beginning August 18, our focus in Sunday School will be on Spiritual Gifts.
