This Sunday is Palm Sunday and we obviously will not be worshiping in-person. Your worship team is still busy planning a meaningful video worship experience, and we need your help.
We have put your palms in a container outside the front doors of the parish. If you are out practicing good social distancing, please drop by the parish to pick up your palm. When you pick up your palm, please take a picture of you and your loved ones holding your palms. Send the picture to Mallory Nonnemaker,
mnonnemaker@me.com, by Thursday so you can be included in our Palm Sunday video service.
If you cannot get out, you can click here,
illustrated coloring page, to print off and color your own virtual palm, but please still send the picture.

Prayers of the People
By: Patti Petit
April 5, 2020
Most Holy God, today we are beginning Jesus' lonely journey to the cross. Perhaps for the first time, many of us are experiencing loneliness and isolation. Help us join him in heart, mind, and prayer for all who face greater loneliness and loss in this hour. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for the whole church in every country. We ask your continued blessings on our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our assisting bishop Don Wimberly, our retired bishop Neil Alexander, and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless Brandon, Mallory, Fletcher, and Finley as they prepare to move to Virginia Theological Seminary. Keep every member of our parish family and all of our brothers and sisters throughout the world in health and peace, joined by prayers as we walk the long journey to Calvary. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Almighty God, we pray for our president Donald, for the leaders of the nations, and for all in authority, that they may compassionately work for justice and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for all members of our armed services. Protect and defend our troops deployed in combat zones. Lift the hearts of those whose deployments are lengthened by the coronavirus. Give them joy as they anticipate reunions with family and loved ones. Pray for Reyna Cruz, Jamie Davey, Brett Turner, Jennifer Parrish, Bart Ziccardi, Robert Rish, Kayla Ziccardi, Frank Caruccio, Joseph Lorenz, Wayne Lovell, Jessica Stephens, Mitchell Stephens, Brandon Richards, Drew Camp, and Jason Gregoryk. Guide, guard, and protect all law enforcement, first responders, and all medical and health providers, and all who are involved in the health and medical profession. Pray for Don Scalia, Dr. William Koeppel, Marika Csatary, JM Kidd, Chloe Gedney, Jackie Hayes, Dr. Barbara Camp, Roxanne Hall, Susie Murray, and Candler Kimsey. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Lord, God our healer, grant us wisdom to prevent our falling into the trap of fear in this time of pandemic. Guide us in love to act wisely to prevent spread of any illness. We pray that the lonely, depressed, and sick will find health and wholeness in your healing presence. Pray for Carol, Helen, Kelly, Bob, Lloyd, Denise, Michael, Stephen, Gil, Jennifer, Kevin, Bette, Kevin, Jackie, Kelli, Luci, Elizabeth, Jack, Sharon, Billy, Helen, Bruce, Genny, Dottie, Taylor, Jon, Opal, Glenda, Sean, Christina, Diane, John, Mel, and Chris. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Most holy God, we pray for newborns, infants, and children of all ages. Protect them from every danger and sickness. Restore all children separated from their families. Shield all children with safety, love, and peace. And give all parents extra grace in these challenging times. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Compassionate God, comfort all who mourn for loved ones lost to sickness and accidents. As we recognize our own fragility, help us to realize and celebrate the sacredness of every life. Pray for all who are dying from coronavirus and all diseases. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Compassionate God, this week as many will experience lonely hours, help us to "keep company with Jesus" in his lonely hours of suffering. It is too easy to complain about our inconveniences, but they pale in the light of his sacrifice to save all of our lives. He loved us to the end. We must try to love him the same way. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Gracious God, we are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays, including Bob Clark, Bernadine Brogdon, Lillian Grace Hutchings, Jim Duffield, and Bill Kinsland, and anniversaries, including John & Bobbie Rees. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
