Pastoral Word from our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry

on the deadly church shooting in Alabama


By now, many of you know of the deadly shooting at an Episcopal church in Alabama. Below is an excerpt from Bp. Curry's letter to the church. The entire letter with its helpful resources can be read in full here: LINK


As the prophet Isaiah wrote (41:10):

Do not fear, for I am with you,

do not be afraid, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you,

I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.


I invite you to join me in prayer:


Eternal God of love, we know that you do not willingly inflict pain upon or grieve your children, and your dream for all is life abundant. We come to you now in sorrow and sadness at the death and violence inflicted on our siblings of St. Stephen’s Church in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. Receive the souls of those who have died. Grant them peace in your arms of love. Be with those who are injured and suffer, those who are grieving, and those who are frightened and dispirited. Help us as a nation to find ways to bring an end to this scourge of violence, which hurts your children and our human family. Give us the strength we need, the courage we must have, and the faith in you that will see us through. All this we pray and ask in the name of the prince of peace—your son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Safeguarding God's Family in Your Home

The Episcopal church values safe environments for children & adults. Here is a LINK to safe firearm storage at home from Be Smart for Kids

Safeguarding God's Family at Church

Please develop a new habit of double-checking every door you use, as you leave. We all make mistakes by thinking we have locked or securely shut a door, when that hasn't happened. Let's help each other with renewed attention to locking all doors & double checking that they have been securely closed. Thank you!
