“What do you want me to do for you?” is the question Jesus poses to Bartimaeus, the blind man who calls out to him. Last week, in the gospel, James and John came to Jesus with a request, ‘Teacher we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you’ and Jesus responded with a question, ‘what do you wish me to do for you?’

It is celebration time! After four plus years since we first broke ground on August 26, 2018, we gather to give thanks to God who has blessed our parish with the much needed gathering spaces and improvements to our buildings to serve our growing needs. We will lift our hearts in gratitude and praise for our generous donors, our dedicated team of architects, engineers, contractors, construction crew, members of the Finance Council, staff and all who in some way or another helped realize this dream.
