This Sunday's Worship Service

As we learn from and adjust to our changing situation we share the following message from our Bishop:

A change of plans is in order for this coming Sunday as Governor Brian Kemp has said it is appropriate for faith-based organizations and other groups to consider canceling public events as he works through the steps to declare Georgia’s first ever public health emergency. While this is not an order, it is a carefully considered request by our governor made with the best interest of public health in mind. In my judgment as your bishop, it is time for the congregations of the Diocese of Georgia to suspend gathering for worship for the next 14 days. We will reassess the situation during that time with the guidance of public health officials.

The collect for this Sunday seems most appropriate:

Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

I hope, as you are able, you will join us via radio (FM 95.1 or AM 580) or Facebook live, as we lift our common prayers.
