Christian Education Fall 2010 begins September 5
Care, Share, Create, Serve The Church of the Heavenly Rest is an Anglican community dedicated to creating an environment that is rich with opportunities for individuals to discern their ministry and means of growth in faith. Centered in God and rooted in the liturgy, we encourage continual faith formation among members of all ages through communion with God and one another and through practices that lead to growth in faith, love, and service. Vision for Faith Formation, adopted in 2006 By the Heavenly Rest Vestry
