Reflect and Connect
Season 5 of the series The Chosen. has been released, so watch this space to learn when our Refelect and Connect group will start seeing and discussing the film. In the meantime we are discussing the previous Sunday's sermon and scripture readings. All are welcome. 10:30 a.m. Wednesdays in the library.
Sacred Ground Series
This is a series of videos, readings and small-group discussions about race. This is highly recommended if you have questions about "critical race theory," a topic needlessly politicized. To watch an introduction, click here.
Home of the Farmers' Market
The market will reopen in November. It runs through April.
Lots of fresh vegetables and other items. There is a book sale in the church hall, top line slightly used clothing in the Unique Boutique and great choices in the Gift Shop.
If you would like to set up a booth, please call the office (239) 643-0197, as we have room for more vendors.

Almighty God, who created us in your own image: Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and, that we may reverently use our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
—Book of Common Prayer
Supporters of Tumaini Fund
Dr. Susan Wilson, an English family physician, is full of energy and zeal for the Lord. She founded Tumaini (the word means "hope") Fund to put her faith to work in the AIDS-ravaged Kagera region of Northwest Tanzania. There she established an orphanage for thousands of children who lost their moms and dads to AIDS. In addition to monetary contributions, the women of our church have sewn numerous dresses, as seen here with Dr. Wilson.
Parishioners Mike Moore and Roger Conant are directors for the fund in the United States.
