CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
|
|
November 7, 2020
Joy was in the air on this unseasonably warm day in Bushnell Park. Fourteen congregants gathered united in prayer and thanks to God. Pastor Paula Mehmel of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Hartford led our service of prayer and readings. Her reflection on Matthew's Gospel spoke of the bridesmaids who did not prepare and also failed to wait in the light of others. Those of us without light would be best served by dwelling in others' light and being patient.
We gave thanks for a peaceful election and prayed for a peaceful transition of power. We asked for God's mercy and healing for those suffering from Covid and for our community as cases increase.
Trinity Episcopal Church, Wethersfield provided lunches for our guests. Thirty-four guests were served today.

Christ Church Cathedral serves the entire Episcopal Church in Connecticut community for the good of the whole, and is the seat of the bishops. It is "our cathedral." Our Cathedral hosts four congregations in one worshiping community. It's not a parish, as its role is unique in the diocese (see 2015 task force report & resolution). In this its centennial year, Cathedral leaders and Centennial Committee members wish to remind all Episcopalians in CT that by virtue of their membership in a parish, they are members of our Cathedral. All are welcome at any time, and in particular, invited to these events .
