We start our 20th year discussing the goals set by St. Andrew’s and St. Matthew’s when they consolidated in 1996.
This ten week series moves through Epiphany and concludes on Palm Sunday. What an empowering image that is for me, that we would conclude these conversations on the threshold of the holiest weeks of the Church year as we prepare for the Feast of the Resurrection. I hope you will join me as we continue to build SsAM.
–Fr. David
