Finding Ourselves in the Bible
One of the gifts of being a part of a community of faith is the ability to situate ourselves in a larger story. Human relationship is a network of community. I am a friend. I am a sibling. I am a spouse. I am a parent. I am a citizen. I am a teammate. I am a beloved child of God. It could be almost anything—we are always placing ourselves within a larger story. This is good during times of struggle, challenge, division, or frustration. It’s a gift to know that we are not alone in this life and that our story is beautiful on its own, but also deeply a part of something more than ourselves.

Sharing Ash Wednesday Wednesday, 17 February
We are finding a way forward in faith, hope, and love beginning with Ash Wednesday.
Each household is invited to pick-up consecrated bread and wine, ashes, and a service bulletin for Ash Wednesday in preparation for our live- streamed service on February 17th. Pick-up will be at the Central Street door of the Church. We ask that you enter the semi-circle from the direction of Bacon St. and exit towards Church Street.
Parishioners are invited to drive-by the church tomorrow the 16th from 7:00-8:00pm or come to pick up a packet in the Parish Office on Wednesday, February 17 from 7:00-9:00am
Ash Wednesday worship will be available on February 17th via Youtube so you can worship at a time that is convenient for you.

Diocesan Lenten Preaching Series
“Repentance 2021—Turning back to God here and now”
The invitation of Lent to repent and return to the Lord is the same every year, but we come to this invitation this year in the wake of the overlapping pandemics of COVID-19, racism, climate change and disinformation. The Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston invites everyone to take part in its annual Lenten Preaching Series, via Zoom, on Thursdays at noon throughout Lent. Click here to see preachers and topics and to register for the Zoom link. The series begins on February 18th. |
