We offer praise and thanksgiving to God through a variety of ministries, including worship, fellowship, formation, pastoral care, outreach, and by being present in the larger church and our community. |

BUT THERE’S BIG CHANGE COMING!!!! Starting the 7th of March, we are returning to our “normal” Sunday worship times! At 8am, the Eucharist will be celebrated via Zoom and Facebook Live. That will be followed by a virtual Coffee Hour, and the Between the Masses group. At 10:15, we will celebrate Eucharist outside and in-person. Folks are asked to bring their own chairs. Distancing will be observed, masks will be worn, and Communion will be distributed in one kind. I will continue to be available to administer Communion under Special Circumstances to individuals and households by appointment. Simply call the office Mondays and Tuesdays between 9am and 2pm to set a time, and I’ll greet you outside the bell tower door. I am also willing to make brief home visits to just offer Communion (outside, safely distant, and masked.) Also, if you want to spend quiet time alone in the sanctuary, please let me know. I am happy to open the doors for you. As always, I’m trying to make decisions with the community’s safety and well-being being the primary consideration, and love being our primary value. I pray everyone is well and staying safe. Blessings, Father Michael+ Today's Prayer Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Know that God is with us. |
