CHURCH BY THE POND

By Nancy Jacobs, Coordinator

October 28, 2023

As the Episcopal Church in Connecticut was meeting to shape our future in one part of Hartford, we were gathered in prayer in Bushnell Park. We were blessed to be led by a new pastor from Emanuel Lutheran Church so our priests could conduct work vital to us.

Pastor Mark Olson led our Church by the Pond service on this warm late October afternoon. We shared prayers, listened to the readings and he provided a reflection on the Gospel. Pastor Mark reminded us of Jesus' teaching that we should not only love God without conditions but we should love our neighbors as we love God.

We gave thanks for the beautiful day, we thanked those who served God's mission in Bushnell Park, we prayed for the people of Palestine and Israel.

Holy Communion was celebrated and shared with twenty congregants present for prayer.

Trinity United Methodist Church, Windsor provided bountiful bagged lunches for forty-seven guests following the service. We were happy to provide lunches for our frequent guests as well as some newer guests. We were happy to serve several young people on this day.

CHURCH BY THE POND

October 21, 2023

Twenty-six congregants gathered in prayer on a drizzly Saturday afternoon. Rev. D Littlepage led our service this afternoon. We shared prayers, heard lessons, and were inspired by Rev. D's reflection on the Gospel. She pointed out that when Jesus looked at the image on the coin and noted that it was a picture of the emperor. The taxes should be paid to the emperor because the image is his. But if we look at other people in our presence we should see the image of God and treat them as we would treat God.

We shared prayers of thanks and mercy for those close and far from us. We prayed for peace. Holy Communion was celebrated and shared with all who gathered today.



At the end of the service our congregants and guests received bagged lunches, warm socks, and hygiene products. The lunches and socks were provided by and distributed by Trinity Episcopal Church, Hartford. The hygiene products were donated by grants from The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, Episcopal Church Women and the generosity of others. Thirty-seven guests were blessed with lunch and personal care items.

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). Cathedral leaders 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 .
