Mission Statement: We believe Christ calls us to proclaim and practice our faith with compassion, thereby making a difference in the lives of our members and our neighbors in the heart of the city.

August 15th we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Mary the Virgin. Our services will look a little different. Our 8 AM service will be the usual Rite I service. At 9:30 AM we will have a "Family Style" Solemn High Eucharist with the adult choir coming off their summer break to sing for us, children gathering around the altar during the Great Thanksgiving, and the use of our hypo-allergenic incense. In order to encourage and facilitate everyone getting to the annual picnic by the start of lunch at noon, the 11 AM service will be an abbreviated Eucharist without music or a sermon. Starting at 11 AM, join us at Bill and Lyn Neel's Copper Windmill Ranch for our annual picnic. Lunch begins at noon. We will end the picnic with a bi-lingual service, which will include Reyna's first Communion! For more information about the picnic, please call the church office at 541-343-9253.
