Outreach

Scripture tells us that the community of faith is the body of Christ in our world. Each week we conclude our worship with a dismissal, where we are sent out to be Christ's hands and feet to our neighbors near and far.

We strive to be a community that lives out our faith by sharing our time, talents, and resources with people in need both inside and outside the church.

Canterbury Crafters
Some members of our parish knit and crochet lap robes for hospice patients and those who are ill. They also make hats and scarves for ministries in our area that reach out to people who are homeless. Even if you have no experience, they are willing to teach any new volunteers how to knit or crochet!
