While we are still not allowed to meet in our worship space, we continue to stream a Sunday service to our parish and cyber community. If you are interested with helping during the service, please contact Fr. Paul at pcm09@bellsouth.net. There are several minor tasks we need help with in order to make sure we are able to live stream and record for parish members. I look forward to hearing from those who may be interested.

Carol Schiedler is the Vestry Worship Ministry Liaison . Carol joined the Episcopal Church in 1990. After finding ECA, she became a member and was baptized on Easter of 1992. Carol initially fell in love with the campus and grounds at ECA, and quickly became involved with the choir, serving as a lay reader (lector), serving on the altar guild, and with ECW (Episcopal Church Women). She also started the ‘Afghan Guild’ which still continues today and was renamed the “Southern Comforters”. We are honored to have Carol serve on Vestry as the Worship Ministry Liaison.

We have begun working on the site area for our outdoor pavilion and we are looking forward to moving ahead with the project. We ask that you please refrain from going to the church to see what is happening. We will keep the parish updated as work progresses. We do not have an end date for the project to be completed because we have to order materials and we have been told there is a 4-6 week wait period due to COVID-19. We are excited about this next phase and look forward to its completion. We are very blessed and we thank all those who have contibuted to the project to help make it happen.
