I have truly missed worshiping together with you in person during this challenging time.  And yet I am glad to let you know that in addition to the Sunday online offerings and weekday Daily Word of Grace we are offering something else... Since we do not yet have a date for when public worship services will resume, during the end of May and the month of June we will be offering something very special.  The Diocese of Georgia has approved " Communion Under Special Circumstances During COVID-19".  This allows a clergy-person to bring communion to your doorstep, then call you to let you know they are there, and then you can come to the door for a brief communion service as set forth here in this Communion at Home liturgy.  The communion kit will include both the bread (no wine) and a copy of the liturgy.  This special opportunity is available beginning Wednesday, May 27.  The Rev. Walter Hobgood and the Rev. Dcn. Stella Clark and I will all be working on this, which is a huge blessing because this would not be possible for one person to offer for all of Christ Church (with over 600 communicants in good standing).  To request that communion be brought to your home, all you have to do is email or call our administrator Kim Dudley or 229-242-5115 and let her know a general time frame that would work for you and how many will be receiving communion.  Kim will then schedule either me, Walter+, or Stella to bring communion to you at a set time, and will let you and us know that time.  Kim will be doing all the scheduling for this, so please contact her rather than a clergy-person.  I hope each of you will take advantage of this special opportunity to have the grace of God in the sacrament of Holy Communion brought to your home between now and the end of June.  I know the Lord will continue to lead all of us through this time.  Please know you remain in our hearts and prayers here at Christ Church.  "Virtual hugs" to all of you!

 

Love and Prayers,
