Together in Faith: “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Jesus’ advice shows a keen understanding of the power of example. A good steward realizes that while of course there is a time for private generosity, there are also times when public generosity will encourage other people to perform good works too.

Bishop's Committee Parishioner Liaison: Starting this week and moving forward there will be an assigned member of the Bishop's Committee to serve as a Parishioner Liaison. We encourage parishioners to seek out this assigned member whenever there is a suggestion, question or concern. The liaisons will bring all comments to the monthly meeting of the Bishop's Committee to be addressed as appropriate. This is one small step the committee is taking to unite our church and improve communications within our family. A schedule of each week's liaison will be visibly posted in the Narthex and the assigned liaison will attend both English services and Lion's Den on Sunday so they are available to receive any input from parishioners. This week’s Parishioner Liaison is Mayra Alvarado.
