Women At The Well Event -- Life Changes

What changes are you resisting in your life, or do you face change with Gratitude? Are you continually paddling upstream, or do you go with the flow? Please join us in the Rev. John P. Finnegan Parish Center on Monday, September 29th for tea, coffee and desert, and a discussion about how we can accept God's gift of change in our daily lives!

The SMV Men’s Club is hosting our annual football outing at Northwestern on Saturday, October 11th. Northwestern will be playing Michigan State University. Game time is TBA, but we anticipate it being an 11:00 AM game.

This long-lived native perennial plant is 2-3' tall. Small clusters of starshaped, bright red or scarlet flowers form at the top of the plant. It prefers full or partial sun and moist to slightly dry conditions.

Royal Catchfly is fairly easy to grow and quite showy. Plants begin to bloom while small in size, but it takes several years to reach their full potential.

This plant is the native cousin of the red cultivar, Bee Balm.

For a member of the mint family, the pink or lavender flowers are large and beautiful. The leaves exude an oreganomint scent. The blooming period lasts about a month during mid-summer. The plant sends up multiple stems giving it a bushy appearance. It likes sunny open areas and does best in moist rich soil.

A Prayer Of All Involved In The SMV Production Of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat

Lord, our God, with open hands we thank you for all our ancestors in the faith - those of the First Covenant who shared with us the wonderful stories of the People of Israel and, in particular, the story of Joseph, showing us how God works through the lives of ordinary people like Jacob and his sons to bring hope and healing into the lives of others.
