Dear Holy Spirit,

In my bulletin article last week, I mentioned the entire Holy Week event is all about love. We walked through some of the important facets of the final days and hours of Jesus’ life. We saw how it led us to the cross, to the tomb; the grief and the pain that Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the disciples of Jesus experienced.

Sound System/Livestream Update

Many of you are aware that the quality of audio and video in Church and on our livestream has changed in recent weeks. We are currently in the process of deconstructing then reconfiguring, rewiring, and restructuring our AV equipment. This is a tedious process and we are thankful to the parishioners who have volunteered their time, knowledge, and talent to this project. Be patient with us as we acclimate to the functionality of new equipment. In the coming weeks, we will be asking the community for help in the formation of an AV ministry, a proactive way of learning how to solve and manage audio-video issues in real time.
