Updated Worship Guidelines |
|
In light of the data collected from our recent survey, we have updated our worship practices and guidelines. |
|
- Vaccinated people aged 12 & older can choose whether or not to wear a mask according to their own comfort level.
- We ask unvaccinated people aged 12 & older to continue both masking and social distancing.
- For children under 12 we will allow each family to decide what's best for their kids around masking.
- No more need for pre-registration for worship or assigned seating.
- The last six rows on the right side of the nave will be reserved for those who choose to continue social distancing.

Serving in Worship
Lectors and Intercessors
|
|
Have you ever thought about reading in church? St. B's needs lectors (readers) and intercessors (those who lead the prayers of the people) on Sunday mornings. It is so important that the assembly hears God's word read by people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, voices... reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. This is a great ministry for folks looking to get more involved! If you have read in the past, it's time to start up again. If you've never done it but would like to, we'll help you prepare! Sign up below for your preferred dates.

St. Benedict's worship is slowly but undeniably getting back towards "normal" as COVID rates continue to fall, vaccinations increase, and as the Bishop and CDC have loosened restrictions. We've got acolytes, processions, ushers, and we are able to pass the plate again: for the sake of developing our own generosity and gratitude, and for the financial life of the church. Please bring your offerings, cash or check, and place them in the plate. One more small step in our regathering for church. |

Baptism is full initiation, by water and the Holy Spirit, into Christ's body the church. People of all ages are baptized at St. Benedict's. If you desire Holy Baptism for you or your child, or are even just curious about baptism, please reach out to Mo. Jenna. I am trying to get a sense of how many folks might be desiring baptism this Eastertide and beyond. |

A reminder to all parishioners that St. Benedict's is committed to the various care needs of its member families. A dedicated group of volunteers are continuing to offer their time to serve our church community within various pastoral care capacities, including prayer requests, transportation, meal delivery, Eucharistic visits with Diocesan-approved safe protocols, and more. Mo. Jenna is also readily available for prayers, calls and/or visits for those in need.
Do not hesitate to reach out to Kerry Thomas or Anna Best about Pastoral care needs for yourself, your family, or your friends. We are here to help and serve!
