Benjamin Thomas - Sunday in-person or at home worshipDear Friends, The early church came together across previously unimaginable social and political boundaries in the name of Jesus for mutual support, encouragement, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. Since we now know how to be as safe at church as we are at the grocery store, the Vestry has decided that we will resume in person worship at 9:00 a.m. on January 10, 2021, on the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord. It seems fitting that the day when Jesus goes public in ministry is the day that we will resume our public worship as well. We will take reasonable and effective precautions to keep everyone who comes safe -- including wearing masks, helping people maintain safe distances, and keeping the services relatively short. We sincerely hope that people will feel comfortable and safe returning to in-person worship just as children are returning to school and some businesses are reopening with new precautions in place. Even so, some will not feel safe or face a greater risk, and so we will provide a Zoom link and Facebook live stream to the in-person worship as a way of keeping our community together in worship. This has been a long journey that is not quite at its end, but I am hopeful, along with the Vestry, that we will be able to travel this last stage together with a renewed sense of hope and purpose in our mission to share the love of God with all the world.

In the last year, I have lost track of time. I don’t remember what day it is, what I am supposed to be doing, but most importantly, when I am supposed to be at work and when I am supposed to be at home since they are now the same place. After seeing Matthew Sleeth speak a few years ago, I bought this book, made a good effort at keeping a Sabbath, and found myself much happier. A year into COVID, I have forgotten my day off and desperately want to get it back. Maybe some of you need this book as much as I do. Six Mondays at noon, via Zoom, beginning February 22, to read this book together. For March 8 please read chapters 5 & 6.
