Message From Father Karl

Sunday’s lessons are truly comforting. Solomon, standing at the threshold of leadership, could have asked for anything, yet he asks God for a listening heart. The psalmist reminds us that wisdom is not sharpness but compassion, eyes that ache for what God sees. Paul reminds us that when our words fail, the Spirit prays within us. And Jesus speaks of a kingdom that begins in hidden smallness - a seed, a bit of yeast - that grows into joy. Together these readings invite us to rest in the quiet, faithful work of God, already unfolding within and around us.


Thanks be to God who keeps sowing, tending, and working in us, quietly, patiently, and fruitfully.

See you Sunday, Father Karl

Dorothy (Dode) Tague

Beloved parishioner Dode Tague died last week and will be sorely missed in our community. Over many years, Dode contributed greatly to our church life, serving on our altar guild. She was known for her warm hospitality, shown through cooking large parish-wide meals and recruiting volunteers more by example and humor than by coercion. About ten years ago, she revived a rummage sale fundraiser that for many years was an annual tradition at our church. Always positive with a “can-do” approach, Dode was a leader and inspired many. Her husband, Barry, died last year, and she leaves behind four children, Kimberly (Bob), Nancy, Skip (Anna), and EJ (Shannon). Information about a memorial service will be forthcoming

Good Works Need- Trying Again

Megan Passarelli, a social worker with JusticeWorks Youth Care, based in the Greater Philadelphia area, recently contacted our Good Works program asking for help on behalf of a single mother of three children who lives in Coatesville and needs help furnishing a new apartment. She is starting fresh after completing a program for substance addiction and needs everything from furniture to tea towels.
