Church isn't where we go, it's who we are
Starting November 22, we are suspending in-person worship in the sanctuary (the "nave" in church-speak), but will continue streaming on Facebook and Zoom. Click here to see our latest mid-week email for the link to take you to the Zoom church on Sunday 9am.
Fr. Bill Nesbit, our interim rector since December 2019, has left us for a position as priest-in-charge in Jefferson City, Missouri, so our long-time friend, Fr. Clayton Thomason will be with us every Sunday until further notice, while the Search Committee continues its work.
Join us on whatever platform is best for you, but join us on Sunday at 9am and Wednesday at 7pm for Bible Study (also on Zoom).
We also want to encourage you continue healthy behaviors to limit the spread of the virus. These are:
• Wear a mask when you are out of your home and with other people, especially in enclosed spaces;
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water, especially after coughing, sneezing, handling diapers, preparing food or using the bathroom;
• Maintain a physical distance of 6 feet between you and others not part of your own household;
• Refrain from touching your face, especially your nose, eyes and mouth, unless you have just washed your hands;
• And especially, stay home from work or school when you feel sick.
This isn't rocket science, and it will go a long way to keeping everyone safe. Please remember that COVID-19 presents as a cold at first. Runny nose, cough, and mild fever. If you develop these symptoms, call your doctor. We will get through this together. There is no need to be afraid, but we must be vigilant. Before we close with prayer, we would ask that you think of anyone in the parish who might not check their e-mail regularly, or at all, and so might miss this information and give them a call to pass this important information on. And consider calling them anyway, just to check in. These are lonely times!
And now, a prayer from Fr. Bill Nesbit:
God of the present moment,
God who in Jesus stills the storm
and soothes the frantic heart;
bring hope and courage to all
who wait or work in uncertainty.
Bring hope that you will make them the equal
of whatever lies ahead.
Bring them courage to endure what cannot be avoided,
for your will is health and wholeness;
you are God, and we need you.
Amen

Welcome. No matter who you are or where you're going... No matter what you believe or what you doubt... No matter what you feel or just don't feel today. No matter whom you love or how you struggle to love them...
You are welcome here to be met by God, who knows you by name, knows your heart, knows your mind and wants to be in communion with you.
We invite you to explore this website and get to know our congregation! You can find out how we worship, what we believe, and who our leadership is. But the best way to learn more about us is to visit us and worship - here's what to expect when you come in the doors.
