Dear Friends,
On June 6th, Columba Day, we will launch a new opportunity for worship: in-person services!!! With the Nave still under renovation we will hold these services all summer outside in the courtyard. We’re calling it “Courtyard Sundays.”
We’ll start with three different times to worship and adjust as needed:
8am Eucharist
9:15am Wee Worship
10am Eucharist with Music
For more details and to register (which is required), please visit this page:
We will continue to offer our online services just as we have for the last year each Sunday on YouTube and Facebook. And we will continue to support our House Church initiative, something we hope continues well beyond the COVID-era.
This last year has been full of everything. For me, sometimes this period has recalled the forty years the ancient Israelites wandered in the desert: the path ahead changing and unknown. When we needed prayer and encouragement we had nothing but messages in a bottle to send to each other. And like those Hebrews, surely there were moments when we cried out for the Lord to send us back -- back to the familiar and well-trodden.
As we return to in-person worship, though, we are not “going back.” We are moving forward. We take this last year of joys, sorrows, missed opportunities, and renewed commitments, and we hold them with open arms as we enter a new land. Come, worship with us. In body and spirit let us discern the voice of Jesus as it emerges anew in our very presence.
Joshua
