In this time of Advent, we experience both the eagerness to put aside the worries and concerns of the past as well as look forward, with hope, to the coming anew of the Messiah.

Quarter 3, 2022

If summertime is supposed to be a time of no work and all play, our churches didn't get the memo. However, it could be understood that good work is all play for those of us in the Episcopal Church in Wyoming. 

Quarter 2, 2022

We are in a new season as an organization, and I bring the excitement of a fresh new day and the eagerness to produce new fruit.
