"Restoring relationships with God and one another."
Welcome to our Blog and Facebook
sites. Go to the Blog to find a reading from Christian teachers, from
Gregory of Nazianzen, to CS Lewis, to Richard Rhohr, which you can
discuss and practice with us. The Facebook site offers other venues for
spiritual practice and discussion. We hope this will be an aid for
spiritual growth for those who participate. This is a new experience
for us, so please leave your feedback on how to continue to develop and
improve these sites.

Welcome to Our Website Welcome to our website. We are an Episcopal congregation that has been serving Corpus Christi for twenty years. This year we are in a leadership transition and are in a process of re-discerning our identity and purpose. The direction we believe God is calling us in this community is to focus on restoring relationships with God and one another.
In a world that is increasingly and painfully estranged and fractured, we envision relationships with one another, with the environment, and with God that are compassionate, life giving, mutually enriching, and respectful of the sacred that is present in all people and things.
Welcome to the Life and Work of Reconciliation FOCUS 2012
Through prayer and reflection, we have discerned that our calling as a congregation in Corpus Christi is to restore relationships with God and one another. The scope and focus of our calling continue to reveal themselves to us as we move in this direction. This year, we feel called to focus on three or four opportunities.
OUR NEIGHBORS (in the Country Club Estates area) Our goal is to bring neighbors together with one another, to invite them to help us serve our other target groups, to partner with them in serving any target groups that they wish to serve, and to be ready to support them in developing their relationship with God.
THE HOMELESS (at the Mother Teresa Shelter) Our goal is to distribute clothes to them quarterly and also to befriend them (restoring relationships with some of our marginalized population), and to be ready to support them in developing their relationship with God.
CLIFF MAUSS VILLAGE (low income housing community) Our goal is to partner with the Episcopal Church in providing safe and affordable housing for low income families at Cliff Maus Village, to develop personal, caring relationships with the residents through on-site activities and events, and to be ready to support them in developing their relationship with God.
WOMEN'S SHELTER Our goal is to explore this opportunity more and to confirm our calling to get involved with one of the women's shelters in Corpus Christi with which we got involved last Christmas.
