Join us to Celebrate the Epiphany
The Rev. Shawn Fiedler will lead us in Morning Prayer on Sunday, January 8th, celebrating the Festival of the Epiphany. The Festival of the Epiphany observes the arrival of the Magi (also known as Wise Men) from the East to adore the Christ Child. On this day, we usher in the Epiphany Season, which lasts until Ash Wednesday and the beginning of our Lenten season. Throughout the Season of Epiphany, we hear scripture lessons that tell of the miracles and teachings of Jesus. Through these stories, we learn how people have come to understand Jesus.

Martin Luther King Weekend and the Inauguration
Special Services:
Sunday, January 15 | 11 AM
Wednesday, January 18 | 6 PM
In light of the upcoming conclusion of Barack Obama's presidency, and the Inauguration of Donald Trump, our worship during the week of January 15-21 will give thanks for the legacy of Dr. King and President Obama, two of our country's most significant African American leaders. Theirs is a remarkable achievement, in a country founded with slavery, whose economic engine has often run on the unpaid or underpaid work of those with least power. As our nation swears in our President and his choice of leaders, we will pray for their wisdom, their commitment to the economic welfare of all, the end of civil and military strife, and the flourishing of all peoples across the world.

Have you ever thought you would like to donate flowers for the Sunday Service but are unsure what one needs to do?
We would like to place flowers on the chancel table every Sunday of the year with the exception of the 6 week Lenten period.
Flowers can be donated for a variety of reasons. They can be in memory of a loved one who has died, in thanksgiving for a special occurrence, or in celebration of a new birth or anniversary. They may also be donated as living prayers and symbols for peace and hope.
Please confirm with Anne Sexton if you have a regular Sunday that you would like to continue. Anne can be reached at the following email:

Accessibility Assists
Our beautiful Georgian sanctuary designed by Peter Harrison and completed in 1754, has been lovingly maintained by the congregation since its completion. One of the box pews has been made wheel-chair accessible. Ushers are available to assist those who are wheelchair-bound to that pew.
A sound system has been installed in the sanctuary of The Chapel to amplify the sound during worship services. Hearing assistance devices are available for your use. Please see an Usher for assistance.
