Congratulations to Laura Nash & Ben Keck for winning the prize apron at the 2024 Tongues of Fire Chili Cook-off!

Laura & Ben's White Chicken Chili was a decadent treat for the taste buds that lit-up the judges' taste buds!

We'll see if they can bring the heat to the fiery competition next year!

CALLING ALL GRADUATES

Calling all soon-to-be graduates! If you are graduating from high school, college, or another degree program in the coming months, please email April at office@stdunstans.net. We want to properly pray for and celebrate all those in our community reaching a graduation milestone.

LAY EUCHARIST VISITORS

"Where two or three are gathered..."

The most important thing we do each week is gather as a community to give thanks to God. One of the next most important things we do is lift up those who can't be with us in person. Lay Eucharist Visitors bring the consecrated bread and wine from our worship service to those who are either homebound or in the hospital and cannot be present for church. If you are interested in learning more about what it takes to be licensed and serve as a Lay Eucharistic Visitor, please email the Rev. Chris Miller at rector@stdunstans.net

The Do What You Love challenge offers a chance for you to contribute to the mission while enjoying activities that you, your friends, and family enjoy. Does your child need service hours? This is a great opportunity for our youth to serve their peers who lack many necessary resources. For more information about the program click the LINK
