From Parish Discernment Meeting Sep 13, 2022:
We believe that as a parish Jesus is calling us to support ourselves as individuals, community, and leadership as we grow spiritually and physically. He is also calling us to reach out to diverse populations, including those who are hungry and suffering both spiritually and physically, in our current ministries, and in new ways that Jesus brings to our attention.
In May of 2021 the Focus Circle recommended to the parish that we hold our next discernment meeting in 2022. Until that time we should continue our efforts to live out our last discernment from 5/18/19 (see below)
