"Our Mission is to bear witness to God's love and invite, encourage, and prepare God's people to share that grace with others." 

It is with consistency and transparency we are having to adapt and adjust to current conditions surrounding COVID transmission rates not only the state, but higher numbers surrounding our community. With this is mind, we are asking all those who attend our worship services in the following weeks, return to wearing masks INDOORS as recommended by the CDC and medical community. We know there are a variety of strong opinions either way on this request, our hope is to provide a worship experience that is free from opinions and focused more on why we are gathering together in the first place. The reason for the season is to celebrate the birth of our "Emmanuel," and we look forward to sharing in this opportunity with as many of you as possible. Jesus had to spend the night in a smelly stable in a hard wooden manger, lets keep focused on the Gift of God's love that came to be among us who was in uncomfortable surroundings too. There will be prizes for the most creative and positive masks to celebrate the best message of Christ who came to save all sinners! Thank you for your understanding with the very difficult decision we had to make during this special season. We will not let any GRINCHES steal our message of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love we wish to share during this Christmas season. Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! In Christ, Fr. Paul and the Vestry.
