An important message from the Rector
Dear Friends in Christ,
Alleluia. Christ is risen.
The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
Happy Easter one and all!
Open Door will resume on Saturday 17th May and we hope to resume public worship on Sunday 9th May! In compliance with Diocesan requirements at this time, masks will still need to be worn and social distancing measures will still be in place. Most likely, at least at the start, it will resemble the weeks we were able to gather in October and November of 2020.
For everyone’s benefit, it is important that you consult your doctor and get vaccinated. New Yorkers can call 311 for scheduling vaccination appointments or call the New York State Vaccination Hotline at 833-697-4829.
If you need help getting to your vaccination appointment please reach out to me by phone or email. Saint Paul’s parishioners are willing to help drive people to and from vaccination appointments. If you’d like to volunteer to drive others, please also be in touch with me.
Please know you are all in my prayers during this joyful Eastertide. Please pray for Saint Paul’s too, that we may be a faithful, loving, and growing community committed to sharing the love of God in Jesus Christ for all people.
Easter Blessings,
Fr William Ogburn, Rector
A Prayer for a Time of Great Sickness and Mortality
O most mighty and merciful God, in this time of grievous sickness, we flee unto thee for succour. Deliver us, we beseech thee, from our peril; give strength and skill to all those who minister to the sick; prosper the means made use of for their cure; and grant that, perceiving how frail and uncertain our life is, we may apply our hearts unto that heavenly wisdom which leadeth to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Book of Common Prayer, 1928 (p. 45)
The people of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church welcome you wherever you have come from and wherever you are headed. Come discover this haven in the city and experience sanctuary and communion with a wide diversity of people.
At St. Paul’s we put our trust in the transformative power of faith in Christ, who grounds and supports us in our daily lives. We worship together using a traditional Anglican liturgy coupled with choral music in a uniquely beautiful, historic church.
