Join us for Online Worship for the Fourth Sunday in Lent ~ 14 March 2021

 The Collect for the Fourth Sunday in Lent

Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Dear Beloved Parishioners,


Below is information about tomorrow's online worship, and also a description of our work to plan for Palm Sunday and Easter. I am happy to say that, at this point, we are planning to have the option to meet in person on Palm Sunday (March 28th), and Easter Sunday (April 4th).


Remember to SPRING Forward tomorrow with our clocks moving forward one hour.


9am ~ Join us for Online Morning Prayer with Music ~ Link HERE

(and remember you may access this service later as well)


9:30 am ~ Music for the Fourth Sunday in Lent ~ Link HERE

(accessible 9:30am and following)


I am so glad that many of our parishioners are having the opportunity to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. Continue to take care of yourselves, and if you hear of clinics and opportunities which I can share with other parishioners, please let me know. I was able to get a few of our folks vaccinated today through the Diocesan clinic.


On Palm Sunday, March 28th, and Easter Sunday, April 4, there will be multiple ways to join us for worship. At 9am, we will have online worship posted on our YouTube Channel. Also at 9am we will have brief outdoor services near the front entrance of the church, and then at 10am we will have indoor worship services on both Palm Sunday and Easter. There is still risk, and we will still have limited numbers of people inside, still have masks, and still have social distancing. God-willing, we are moving in the right direction with COVID19. We are hopeful we may be able to also have Holy Eucharist (in one kind-bread only) on those two Sundays.


More information on these details will come in the next weeks, continue to care for yourselves, for one another, and keep us all in your prayers.


In Christ's Love,
