IN THE MIDST OF CHANGE . . .

The Church is in the midst of change—in liturgical practices, patterns of ministry, parish clustering, generational shifts, ethnic and cultural communities, and many more. Change may arouse fear but can also offer opportunities for hope and growth.

Eastern Logo

In the midst of change, we continue to gather for the liturgy which celebrates and enables our communion with Christ and one another. We draw hope from the song of Christ who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever”!
