All are BELOVED! All are WELCOME!
My Dear Friends in Christ, we are so thankful for the faithful ways in which each of you make sure that the ministries of worship, community, and outreach continue in the face of ever-changing challenge and opportunity. Much has been demanded of each of our church families over time. I fully acknowledge the difficulties each of you has muscled through, and remain so fiercely proud of the excellent efforts, creativity, and courage borne out in each of your ministries in this time.
Masks are the prerogative of each individual, and one that is to be respected. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate in whatever way they feel most safe. Communion will resume in both kinds, along with the use of the common cup. Anglican theology is that full communion is received in either one or both kinds.
Therefore, those who wish to have communion in one kind only may continue to do so. All are welcome, though none should feel obligated. My friends, while we continue to do and be about the work of being the Church, here are some announcments.
- We will continue to Livestream the service on our Facebook page (link can be found at the bottom of this page). Please share this page by directly inviting anyone you feel might benefit from connection, updates, and worship.
- Pastoral care is continuing, no matter what. You can ask to receive care from us in any need you have, and we will respond in the best way we can.
- Take care of yourselves and each other. We believe that God is love, and that all of creation and life itself is a reflection and expression of that love. We believe that the same incredible and unconditional love has been best expressed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. We believe that God's love and presence are the source of healing, wholeness, forgiveness, peace and joy. We believe that it's important to gather in community to try to understand and be enriched by the ongoing story of God's love, and to try to find our part in both receiving and sharing it lovingly with all people.
