- Night Prayer (Compline)
  
  November 21
  
  The ancient office of Compline derives its name form a Latin word meaning 'completion' (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day. It is most effective when the ending is indeed an ending, without additions, conversation or noise. If there is an address, or business to be done, it should come first. If the service is in church, those present depart in silence; if at home they go quietly to bed.

  June 7
  
  - Fr. Jim Liekhus
  
  My name is Fr. Jim Liekhus, and I’m very excited to be your new pastor [effective July 1, 2020]. A number of you have already reached out to welcome me to your parish, which lines up perfectly with what Fr. Mark has told me about you: you are very welcoming. And chatty. Fr. Mark calling other people “chatty” is saying something. I am looking forward to getting to know you and the parish’s personality.... [read more]

  March 1
  
  - Strategic Planning Team
  
  Over the last several months, the Parish Pastoral Council, Finance Council, Worship Commission, Pastoral Care Commission and a team of other parishioners have been involved in creating a five year plan for our parish's future. We gathered input from commissions and committees, and we asked parishioners for feedback using the Vision Wall in the narthex.
  Over the course of several weeks we will outline specific goals that the councils and commissions have developed to support these vision statements. You can also find this information archived online at www.strichards.com/vision2025.
