In 2026, The Episcopal Church will celebrate the 50th anniversary of affirming that LGBTQ+ people have a full and equal claim to the love, acceptance, and pastoral care of the church. The journey to make that promise a reality continues today, as we remember the struggles, celebrate the joy, and give thanks for love and for lives that refuse to be erased.
St. Elizabeth's joins with our greater church community as we, with God's help, strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being.

Today, we remember Augustine of Canterbury, sent by Pope Gregory the Great to bring the Gospel to Anglo-Saxon England. Arriving in 597, Augustine baptized King Ethelbert and became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. His mission laid the foundations for English Christianity and exemplified patience, wisdom, and cultural sensitivity. Augustine’s willingness to adapt Roman, Gallican, and local customs shaped a Church rooted in unity and diversity.

“That all whom you call and send may do your will, bide your time, and see your glory.”

On this Memorial Day, we remember the men and women who have made this country strong. We give thanks for the torch of liberty which has been lit in this land and drawn people from every nation.

05-24-26 The Day of Pentecost

05/24/2026

It's Pentecost Sunday! Join us for services at 8:00 or 10:30 a.m.
❤️ Wear something red if you have it! ❤️

On this day, the Spirit is poured out, opening the way of life to every people and every place. The breath of God fills the church, sending us out to proclaim, to serve, and to love in ways that renew the world. We pray that this gift would be kindled in us again, that we may share in the life of the Holy Spirit and bear it to the ends of the earth.
