UPCOMING EVENTS
MAY 31 | Our Monthly Healing Service will be held at 6:00 p.m. 
Among the special liturgies in our Book of Common Prayer is a service of healing, intended to be shared by those who seek healing and wholeness in their own lives or on behalf of those whom they hold in prayer.  We hold a weekly healing service on Thursdays at noon in our Chapel, but knowing that is a difficult time for many to attend, we have begun offering a healing service on the last Wednesday night of the month, at 6:00 pm, in the Chancel (where the choir sits in the Nave).  At all times, and perhaps especially in this interim season of our parish life, it is appropriate to pray for the healing of what troubles us in mind, body, or spirit.  All are welcome to attend this brief service that will include Holy Eucharist.
