An important message from the Rector
Dear Friends in Christ,
It seems as though Lent this year is just a long continuation of the beginning of Lent in 2020, when our long fast from public worship began due to Covid-19. It continues to be a struggle in 2021, although there is much to be hopeful about in the months to come.
In the meanwhile, God’s grace continues to sustain us day to day and from strength to strength. If you would like to join us for our online worship, please subscribe to our newsletter for the details.
Please join us on Wednesdays at 7 pm online as four historic Anglo-Catholic Parishes come together for Adult Education in Lent. See details below.
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)
