Treasurer's Report

Passing the Plate

Many people have mentioned the sense of loss of not being able to put their offering in the collection plates. We are still not able to "Pass the Plate" but we will have a Collection Plate at all of our Outdoor Services. Please bring your offerings, cash or check, and place them in the plate. One more small step towards regathering for church.

Women's Bible Study

The Women's Bible Study meets on Mondays at 10:30 am.

All women are welcome and may join us via the repeating Zoom link below. Currently we are studying the Gospel of John.

Holy Baptism

Baptism is full initiation, by water and the Holy Spirit, into Christ's body the church. People of all ages are baptized at St. Benedict's. If you desire Holy Baptism for you or your child, or are even just curious about baptism, please reach out to Mo. Jenna. I am trying to get a sense of how many folks might be desiring baptism this Eastertide and beyond.

Pastoral Care

A reminder to all parishioners that St. Benedict's is committed to the various care needs of its member families. A dedicated group of volunteers are continuing to offer their time to serve our church community within various pastoral care capacities, including prayer requests, transportation, meal delivery, Eucharistic visits with Diocesan-approved safe protocols, and more. Mo. Jenna is also readily available for prayers, calls and/or visits for those in need.
