Lots of pictures of light, which is so appropriate for the season of Epiphany. Join us by posting your own photo and tagging it #imagesofgod. #imagesofgod #episcopal #youthinchurch #light #epiphany

Happy New Year’s Eve! What a year we have had at St. Mary's! As 2018 comes to a close, we invite you to give an end-of-year gift to St. Mary’s. (www.saint-marys.org/give) All ministries of St. Mary’s rely on financial support. Your financial gifts keep the heat and the lights on, provide for clergy to lead us in life-giving worship, keep our staff working with volunteers to bring transformational ministries to parishioners and the wider Eugene/Springfield community, and so much more. Thank you for making all of our ministries possible. Every gift to St. Mary’s makes a difference. Every gift promotes life changing ministry. You are making it possible for us to live out our mission to worship, serve, and grow in faith. #gifts #giving #ministry #episcopal #2018
Blessing I wonder if you can receive these words: that you are a blessing to God, and that God is intent on your being a channel of blessing, the blessing of God’s light and life and love to all that surrounds you. Can you receive that: that you are a blessing? -Br. Curtis Almquist Society of Saint John the Evangelist. #blessing #God #episcopal
