ANNOUNCEMENTS

MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

I am thrilled to remind you all that this Sunday we will be graced with the presence of a dear friend and esteemed colleague, the Very Rev. Ian Markham Ph.D., who will be our guest preacher and leader for our adult formation discussion. Having known him for many years, I can assure you that you are in for an inspiring and enriching experience. His vibrant personality and energetic nature always leave a lasting impact, and I have no doubt that his words will resonate deeply with each of us.

I've deliberately chosen this photo that captures his essence—full of life and joy—to give you a glimpse of the warmth and wisdom he brings. Please join us in welcoming him warmly this Sunday at both services, 8am and 10:30am, and from 9:15am – 10:15am in the upstairs parish hall where he will lead a discussion on “How Lent & Liturgy Let You Live Longer.”



Additionally, I ask for your prayers as our vestry gathers tomorrow for an all-day retreat at the church. Together, we will realign ourselves with the mission and vision of our church and prepare for the journey ahead. Your prayers and support are invaluable as we embark on another year of serving our community and spreading the love of God.

CALLING ALL YOUTH!

In honor of Black History Month, join us for a free virtual event titled: “Exploring Black History: Reflecting on Greenwood & the Tulsa Race Massacre” where we will explore the history and legacy of the Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the worst acts of racial violence and terrorism in American history. Through expert insights from Greenwood Rising, an award-winning, world-class history center and museum, we aim to honor the icons of Black Wall Street, memorialize the victims of the Massacre, and examine the lessons of the past to inspire meaningful, sustainable action in the present. This event will explore narratives from Massacre survivors and profiles of historic figures, all contextualized in the history of America. This truth-telling and education for all are aimed at repairing lingering historical racial trauma--working toward restoration--and charting a new, vibrant, inclusive course for the future. Most importantly, this free virtual learning event will support participants in committing to racial justice and reconciliation and will broaden attendees’ understanding of race relations in the United States.

BIG THANKS go to our Usher team for your service and commitment and for providing a welcoming presence to all every Sunday! If you see an usher, thank an usher! If you are not an usher, consider joining THE TEAM!

The Men's Breakfast is always the first Saturday of every month at 9:00 am at Traders Restaurant in Chesapeake Beach. Jim Thrift, our convener, will be in attendance setting up the room before 9:00. The breakfasts are for all Christian men for fellowship and fun. We discuss most everything except religion. Plan to attend and bring a friend as all are welcome, especially newcomers. If you attend you'll have fun, if you don't, we'll talk about you.

We've recieved a lovely card from the Diocese of Hawaii thanking us for the funds we raised to help their recovery from the tragic fires that devastated so many communities there last year. Card pictured below...
