Meal Train
A parishioner and their family members are in need of meals. There are six people total in the household. We are looking for 2-3 meals to be provided each week for the foreseeable future (either home-cooked or delivered from a local restaurant). If you prepare a meal at home we ask that you follow these COVID guidelines when preparing the food. Thank you in advance for signing up!
Connecting Through Calls
Part of church is staying in community, and during COVID we’ve all worked hard to stay connected. If you would like to receive a call (or make contacts with other GHTC parishioners) please contact Mother Kim to learn more.

Yes, we are going to gather outside for Easter as long as it’s not raining (and the COVID numbers remain low)! Here’s the complete schedule for Holy Week:
Palm Sunday 3/28
10:00 a.m. livestream from inside the church tune in on YouTube and Facebook. You may pick up the blessed palm fronds from the front porch of the church after 11:00 a.m. and download the bulletin from our website.
Maundy Thursday 4/1
Join others at 6:00 p.m. for an Agape Meal live on Zoom with prayer, scripture, and readings. Set your table and place your computer or mobile device at the end of the table so we can all see each other while we eat dinner in our own homes! Then at 8:00 p.m. tune into YouTube or Facebook to see the Stripping of the Altar featuring James Taylor, Tenor, singing Psalm 22 a capella.
Good Friday 4/2
Our traditional service begins at noon via livestream on YouTube and Facebook. Early next week you can download the bulletin from our website; the service begins and ends in silence.
Easter Vigil 4/3
One of the most interesting nights of the year is the Easter Vigil, when we tell the story of our faith from Creation to Resurrection. This year join five families from GHTC to share in telling the story on Zoom. Come one, come all!
Easter Day 4/4
We’ll re-gather outside in the parking lot behind the church at 10:00 a.m. (the service will also be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook). Be sure to register so we have an accurate count, and download the QR code to park for free in the VCU deck between Main and Cherry St. We plan to flower the cross, hear eight voices from the choir, and celebrate together!
