Anna is so talented and has such a giving heart. Thanks, Anna, for sharing your time and talent to make life better for others.

SHARING YOUR TALENT

We are deeply moved by the kindness of Anna Goodman. She took the time to sew custom zippered pouches by hand and filled them with essential personal hygiene items for both men and women.
Anna recently dropped off these wonderful travel kits to the Outreach Center.
For our neighbors experiencing tough times, receiving a thoughtful, quality kit like these means more than just having basic supplies--it restores dignity, comfort and hope. Knowing someone cared enough to make these will bring joy and relief to our neighbors.
Thank you, Anna, for your generosity and for showing our neighbors that they are seen and loved.

832 pounds of fresh produce from our parish garden have been donated to the food bank so far this season! Amazing! Monday's harvest included beets, turnips, summer squash, beans and peppers. We also planted kohlrabi and radishes. Thanks to the parishioners who plant, w**d and harvest this crop throughout the summer. Another picking is planned for Monday morning. All are welcome to help!
