Most Recent Discernments

May 10, 2025:   God is calling us to respond in love by following Jesus’ example. We are being called to educate ourselves, pray for guidance and take account of who we are and our abilities as we seek to reach out and minister to others.

From discernment meeting in September, 2022:   We believe that as a parish Jesus is calling us to support ourselves as individuals, community, and leadership as we grow spiritually and physically. He is also calling us to reach out to diverse populations, including those who are hungry and suffering both spiritually and physically, in our current ministries, and in new ways that Jesus brings to our attention. 

In May of 2021 the Focus Circle recommended to the parish that we hold our next discernment meeting in 2022. Until that time we should continue our efforts to live out  our last discernment from 5/18/19   (see below)

From special discernment meeting regarding use of music by David Haas, held via Zoom on July 22, 2020:  

In light of the pain caused by David Haas’ actions, both directly over 30 years and indirectly by triggering the trauma of other abuse survivors, Jesus is calling us as a parish to be sensitive to that pain, and to not use music composed by David Haas at this time.

From Parish Meeting, May 18, 2019

"God is calling us to continue on our current path in support of our ordination candidates, and marketing outreach. God is also calling us to seek better understanding of the range of diversity in our Cape communities and take personal responsibility in responding to it."
