We are an urban Anglo-Catholic Episcopal Church, offering rich traditional worship with an open, progressive theological outlook. We have a Celtic Christian flavor visible especially in The Columba Center, which offers a Rule of Life for spiritual deepening while ministering to the homeless and to women in prostitution. We offer programs for children and youth and have a young face!

We are located in the Montavilla neighborhood of Portland, close to Gateway transit center, Mall 205, and only ten minutes away from Portland International Airport on 82nd Avenue. Come check us out!

    Next Sunday's Service - Thanksgiving and Blessing of Graduates

Healing offered after each mass.

Announcements for this week include the following:

Kim's Tae Kwan Do continues to meet each Monday and Thursday at 6:30 in the parish halls. Great aerobic exercise, food for the head in the study of a traditional martial art, friendship with fellow students, confidence and self-defense are all part of the benefits! Anyone may observe the class for free, try it out for a couple of sessions before deciding to join. Kim's TKD is a traditional non-contact school, emphasizing self-control. Kim's website is: http://www.kimstkdportland.com

This thought from your parish Stewardship Committee:
Stewards of Peace

People today experience anxiety over a lot of things, but finances are often near the top of the list. There is no need to worry, Jesus says, about “your life” or about “what you will eat” or “what you will drink” or “what you will wear” (Matthew 6:25). There is more to life than such material concerns.

Jesus does not mean that we should be naive about life. Simply “trusting God to provide” is not presented as a substitute for careful planning, reasonable preparation or dedicated labor. But there is a basic sense in which recognizing we have a God who loves and provides for us can set us free from the anxieties that would make us “slaves of mammon,” to use Jesus’ colorful expression (Matthew 6:24).

The gift of being a good steward is Peace. The Peace of the Lord be with you.
