Announcements - week of January 29

Worship

* The service of Compline is held Monday evenings in the Hall at 8:00. From the Book of Common Prayer, Compline is offered to give thanks when the work of the day is completed. Please join us in a reflective atmosphere with sung chants and prayers. * The early 8:30 a.m. BCP of Holy Eucharist is being held again, on a trial basis. At this service the wine and bread will be distributed as before Covid. The wafers will be received directly from the priest to the congregant and the wine will be received from the chalice.

This practice will not be followed at the 10 a.m. service: at this service the wafers will be distributed by tongs and the wine will be distributed by dropper. Please note a different chalice from the 8:30 a.m. service will be used at the 10 a.m. service.
