Brothers and Sisters,
I have seen and heard about what regathering across the diocese has looked like throughout the summer and moving into the fall, and I am so encouraged by the many stories of success. This pandemic has carried on for far longer than many of us have expected and I can understand that some of you are growing weary. I encourage you to speak with one another and learn from one another. What is working? What has not worked? What are your joys and your struggles?
As I have shared with you from the onset of this, I remain flexible as I know that no two congregations are the same. I am confident that all of you are exercising good judgment and I continue to pray that you endure and remain steadfast in your efforts to come together for worship.
