Candlelight Service of Remembrance and Hope for the Future
Tuesday, January 19, 5:00 p.m. In-Person and Live Streamed
This Tuesday in coordination with a Candlelight Vigil being held around the reflecting pool in Washington DC to remember those who have died as a result of COVID 19 this past year, St. Richard's will have a short service of prayer and remembrance and hope for the future.
We will begin inside the worship space and process out to Lake Howell Road with candles to be a light to the local community. We hope this will be a positive response to the January 6 attack on the capital, acknowledgment of the lives lost to the pandemic, a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. whose holiday is Monday, January 18 and hope for a peaceful inauguration event on January 20. Please join us in-person or online. No reservation needed.

St. Richard's Next Family Promise Host Week
Sunday, February 14th - Saturday, February 20th, 2021
The families are still being housed in hotels at this time - in fact, we do not anticipate them being back at St Richard's until 3rd quarter 2021. Currently there are 4 families totaling 18 people (the numbers continue to rise as the pandemic drags on). We will provide dinners for them each night, Sun Feb 14th-Sat Feb 20th, as we have done throughout the pandemic.
If you can provide dinner one night, please email Kay Wolf at kaylynnewolf@gmail.com or call her at 407-758-6984. Let Kay know which night and which of these options you choose:
(1) You drop off dinners (bagged separately for each family - at the Family Promise Center on Clay St between 4:45 pm - 5 pm. (Family Promise will then deliver the food to the families at their hotel).
(2) You have a restaurant of your choice deliver dinners to the Family Promise Center (separated out for each family) between 4:45 and 5 pm, for Family Promise to deliver to the families at their hotel.
(3) You send a check for dinners - made out to Family Promise - to Kay Wolf at 801 Silver Dr., Orlando 32804, in time for her to receive it by Monday Feb 8th. Kay will take all the checks to Family Promise the week of Feb 7th & they will purchase and deliver dinners to the families at the hotel.
Thank you again for helping feed our community's most vulnerable during this pandemic!

One more week to throw your name in the hat for Vestry of St. Richard's.
We have five Vestry candidates running for four seats this year. The Vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The basic responsibilities of the Vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the congregation; to support the church's mission by word and deed, to select the rector, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances. Please contact Alison, rector@strichards.org if you wish to run for the Vestry for a three year term.
