St. Paul describes church members as diverse, but interconnected parts of one “Body of Christ,” emphasizing unity in diversity, where each individual with unique spiritual gifts (like apostles, prophets, teachers, healers) is essential for the church to function, serve, and grow, stressing mutual care, honor, and interdependence, not division.
Key passages are I Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4, showing members must work together, valuing the “weaker” parts, to achieve God’s purpose. Attending the Liturgy on Sunday mornings is just the beginning. Try the check list below to see what opportunities are available for your gifts:

This year during Advent the Anglican Church Women are supporting newborns and their families through the Infant Layette Program facilitated by Catholic Community Services.
The CCS distributes up to 40 layettes a month to families in need in Snohomish County who are referred to the program by public health nurses, health districts, DSHS, churches and treatment facilities.
Please help us support these families by making a monetary gift or donating a new or gently-used infant item from the list below.
Monetary donations are a great way to multiply your gift, as Catholic Community Services makes purchases in bulk. Place your gift in the Sunday offering plate, or mail it to the church. (Write “Infant Layette Program” in memo line.)
Choose an item from the list below, and place it in the donation basket in the Narthex

Do you wonder if allowing your children to go trick-or-treating is a good idea? Here are some thoughts borrowed from a Catholic parish:
”In the Catholic perspective, Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve, is the vigil preceding the solemn feast of All Saints’ Day (November 1st) and is the beginning of the three-day Hallowtide, which also includes All Souls’ Day (November 2nd). It serves as a time to reflect on life, death, and the Communion of Saints, reminding the faithful of mortality, the reality of heaven, hell, and the need to pray for the souls of the departed.
While modern celebrations can focus on secular themes, the Catholic approach encourages a deeper understanding of faith, emphasizing Christ’s triumph over darkness and offering an opportunity to “baptize” the holiday with holy meaning.
So, use your jack-o-lanterns and costumes to make fun of the devil and all his antics. We have already overcome darkness and death through Our Lord Jesus Christ.”
