Christmas Eve 2011

On Christmas Eve we celebrated the birth of our Savior at three worship services --a Children's service and two Candlelight services with Holy Communion. Each service featured a variety of music from our handbell and vocal choirs.

All Saints Sunday 2011

On November 6 we celebrated all the baptized in Christ, both the living and the dead on the Feast of All Saints. As part of that celebration new stained glass windows and items for our columbarium were dedicated.
