A Message from Deacon Matthews regarding COVID-19 Vaccination Access
COVID -19 Vaccination Update
This week, Governor Ned Lamont announced that the state will continue with an age-based approach to expanding eligibility to the vaccine.
We understand this is a personal decision. This information is shared with the intention of providing pastoral support to you.
A Vaccination time line for age-based eligibility for the next several months is listed below. By laying out a clear timeline for eligibility for the vaccine, the strategy allows everyone in the state, including essential workers and those with chronic conditions, to know when they will be able to schedule an appointment. The planned schedule is as follows:
· March 1, 2021: Expands to age group 55 to 64
· March 22, 2021: Expands to age group 45 to 54
· April 12, 2021: Expands to age group 35 to 44
· May 3, 2021: Expands to age group 16 to 34
When your age group becomes eligible to make appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations. You can do so three ways:
· Call the CT.gov COVID Vaccine Access Line
CT COVID Vaccine Appointment Assist Line at 877-918-2224
Mondays through Fridays from 8am - 8pm
· Schedule through the Vaccine Administration Management System (VAMS)
Vist CT.gov/covidvaccine website. VAMS is the Vaccine Administration Management System – an online scheduling portal that allows individuals with an email address to create an account, log-in, and search for a vaccine clinic near them
· Schedule directly through a participating provider.
Walgreens: Several locations across the state
CDC recommends we continue to follow safe practice guidelines.
Wearing a mask and social distancing.

CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
March 20, 2021
|
|
Spring was in the air on this beautiful day in Bushnell Park. The pond was stocked with goldfish and several ducks were present in our church's "backyard." We were joined by old friends in new roles. Rev. Patrick Bush joined his St. Andrew's congregants for the first time with us. Rev. Helena Martin, newly installed priest, rejoined us this time with her young congregation at St. Paul's. Forty-three were present for prayer today.
Father Patrick led us in prayer at Church By The Pond. His sermon kept the Spring theme going. He spoke of the care of seeds which have great potential to bear fruit. We can also see our potential if we care for ourselves and others.
We prayed for the victims of murder in Atlanta this week. We prayed for those who have died and those who mourn. We prayed for an end to all forms of racism but especially for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. We continue to give thanks for the health of our community, for the scientists and those distributing vaccines to provide a renewal in our lives. We prayed for Kenny, a friend of one of our lay-leaders, who lost his life due to Covid. We asked God to be with Kenny's loved ones.
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Rocky Hill provided delicious lunches and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Southington provided personal care bags for our 35 guests. As Father Patrick reminded us God is Good All the Time!

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 .
