Rogation Days 2023:
May 15, 16, & 17th our rector "beat the bounds" of the parish asking
for God's blessing in the coming season.
Thank You Michael Van Essen and Prairie Ridge Behavioral Health
for providing Naloxone (brand name Narcan) Training:
Saturday, April 22 in our Parish Hall
Contact Prairie Ridge to learn how opioids work, how to identify an overdose,
and how to administer Naloxone in case of a drug overdose.
Attendees who complete this one-hour training learned how to receive a dose of Naloxone at no cost.
Let's reduce the stigma and learn how you could save the life of a loved one, friend, and neighbor.
