Welcome back to Church!
We have opened our doors and hoping that you will all find your way through them! During this time while we are moving through vaccinations, we recommend that you continue to wear masks. In fact, we recommend that whenever one feels as if they might be a little under the weather that they take advantage of the masks provided at the back of the church. After all, I think we might all agree that the masks did keep the flu away from most of us while we were using them.
Services are being held at the normal times and we hope that all of you will find the presence of God and the community by joining in at one of the multiple times we gather. We are also gathering for coffee hour after the 8 am Sunday Service. We hope that those who attend the other services will join us for fellowship at that time.
As we move back into the rhythm of “regular” parish life, we also have found the need to recruit readers and chalice bearers for our services. If you are interested in serving God and our congregation in this capacity, please see Father Clay to find out more.
As most of you know, there will be a celebration at the conclusion of this week’s 10:15 service. This celebration will celebrate the ministry of the Reverend Deacon Tom Regan who has faithfully served this parish for many years. I would be remiss in not expressing my heart felt gratitude to the Reverend Deacon Tom Regan for his years of service to our parish as well as the years of faithful service to other parishes and the diocese. I have valued his counsel and service for these last five years and will miss him greatly. I am also very glad that he and Diana will continue to call All Angels their church home, though I admit it will be a change not seeing him beside me, but seeing him in the congregation! So, thank you Tom and Diana for your years of service and ministry! After all, their ministry is not over, only transformed.
