Dear Friends in Christ:

As we move through Holy Week together, though apart, I just want to update you on a few things.

ONLINE WORSHIP

As a reminder, you can join us online for live-streamed services on our Facebook page HERE. The services will then be uploaded to our youtube channel, HERE. The times for those services are as follows . . .

April 9, 7pm, Maundy Thursday (materials HERE)

April 10, 7pm, Good Friday (materials HERE)

April 11, 9pm, Easter Vigil (materials HERE)

Also, each Wednesday at 12:30pm, we are live-streaming one of our lovely stained-glass windows, accompanied by music and prayers. The next one (April 15th) will feature our Tiffany "Good Shepherd" window, with musical accompaniment by our Choirmaster, Andrew Bolden.

NEW LIGHTS

As part of our Growing With God capital campaign, all the fluorescent lights throughout our building are being replaced this week (with the exception of the sanctuary). Over the long haul, this will substantially decrease our electric costs. However, these lights are also much brighter and more pleasant, so once we are able to gather together again, we can enjoy one another's smiling faces even more!

HOLY WEEK

Hopefully, you have received your packet of materials for observing Holy Week in your home. If not, please call the church office and we can e-mail you the information for the remaining days. If you have set up a home Altar using THESE guidelines, please consider sending a photo by e-mail or text to Fr. George so we can add them to our collection. And, if you follow the recommendations to dress up on Easter, we'd especially love to get a photo of your smiling faces!

OTHER THINGS

Again, I want to say thank you to all who have brought in food and supplies to our food pantry. Traffic has slowed a bit, and we still have plenty of everything for right now. Thank you also to those who have kept up with pledges and contributions, even during these uncertain times. As a reminder, you can now give to St. Tim's securely at our website. Look for the button in the upper right-hand corner that says DONATE.

Although we miss seeing each other during this anxious and trying time, we know that we are safely in God's hands, the very place we have been all along. I encourage you to keep checking in on one another, and on your neighbors and friends. Every conversation we have is a reminder that we are not alone in this, even when we must be apart from one another.

Much love and Easter Blessings to all,

Fr. George
