Dear Friends,
I thank you for all of the news you have shared with me from your "other" parishes. Such sharing of information a wonderful resource and a way of discovering how our fellow brothers and sisters are living into what is being referred to as a new "normal."
I am attaching an informational video I made today which provides options for staying connected, informed and supported. We will be continuing worship on Sundays either by pre-recorded video or by LiveStream.
T
he best way to stay informed will be to go to our website:
There is a tab on the front page marked "
calendar
."
The calendar details our virtual meeting options for Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, Contemplative Prayer, Bible Studies, Fellowship and more!
You will need to download an app to your computer called "Zoom.us"
After that...the connection is easy. And there are a number of people who stand ready to assist you to set up Zoom, if needed.
Just call
(941) 964-2257 ext. 1
and we will help to direct you to one of our savvy "tech support" parishioners. But truly...it isn't that difficult.
The Vestry will be meeting this Sunday afternoon (March 22nd), via Zoom, to discuss next steps. More information will be shared in the following days.
In the meantime:
- If you have any pastoral needs please let us know.
- There is a prayer request form on our website that can be completed for yourself or for a loved one.
- Additionally, if you are on the island and discover you need assistance of any kind (grocery or pharmacy run, etc) there are several members from the parish who have stepped forward to volunteer and assist as needed.
I hope you will take a moment to watch the video to discover opportunities for remaining connected in the days and weeks ahead.
Peace,
Michelle+

Our Presiding Bishop, Michael Curry,
offers the following prayer:
God of the present moment,
God who in Jesus stills the storm
and soothes the frantic heart;
bring hope and courage to all
who wait or work in uncertainty.
Bring hope that you will make them the equal
of whatever lies ahead.
Bring them courage to endure what cannot be avoided,
for your will is health and wholeness;
you are God, and we need you.
This we pray in Christ our Lord. Amen.
God love you. God bless you. May God hold us all in those almighty hands of love.
