We are holding virtual services (via Zoom) on 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month at 10am. If you would like to participate, contact us... In person Sunday Services are suspended
until further notice. We've had to make difficult decisions in light of the COVID-19 precautions. The congregation is keeping in close contact via email, phone calls and messages from Pastor Larry who continues to guide us with lessons remotely. Stay Safe and may God bless. These are the (theologically-sound) words of an Episcopal bishop in response to those who want churches to open:
"The work of the church is essential. the work of caring for the lonely, the marginalized, and the oppressed is essential. The work of speaking truth to power and seeking justice is essential. The work of being a loving, liberating, and life giving presence in the world is essential. The work of welcoming the stranger, the refugee and the undocumented is essential. The work of reconciliation and healing and caring is essential. The church does not need to 'open' because the church never ‘closed’. We who make up the Body of Christ, the church, love God and our neighbors and ourselves so much that we will stay away from our buildings until it is safe. We are the church." |
We have taken this downtime to work on much needed maintenance to the church. The east corner of the foundation has been lifted and repaired with drainage installed as a precaution. The inside of the Tea House has been painted and wood for the stove has been replenished. The gardening "whoever shows up" crew, has been keeping the grounds tidy. Many thanks to all for your donations and support until we are able to meet again. Your donation of any amount helps to maintain the heritage buildings, the twice monthly services and helps us to support the local community. Read more...
