Dear Parishioners and Friends,
One of the things we learned over the course of the last two years is that we need to be open to new and different ways of thinking about how we are the Church. For one thing, live-streaming has come to be normative and, for the most part, a good thing.
Another thing we learned, though, was the importance of some tried and true staples of parish life that simply cannot be experienced virtually. Children all over the country had to adapt to virtual school, and even when in-person resumed, there were often days and weeks when they had to go back to virtual due to covid outbreaks.
Thanks to a decline in infections, children’s vaccines, and more importantly eager volunteers, St. Mary’s Sunday School is back! Our children can once again gather to learn about Holy Scripture, sing songs of praise, and just enjoy each other’s company. This is a vital part of Christian formation, whose return is a more than welcome development.
If you would like to volunteer, or if your child would like to attend, please contact Aoife in the church office.
Blessings,
Father Rick

Helping the Children of Ukraine |
|
St Mary's Outreach Committee is sending financial support to assist in the direct relief of children who are suffering as a result of the war taking place in Ukraine. Our donations from undesignated Outreach Funds and individual donations have been sent to the organization, 'Save the Children.' So far, a sum of $5,400 has been donated.
We realize many people will have made donations individually, but our intention is to continue to donate, playing a small part in supporting the children and their caregivers. Donations of any size can be sent to St Mary's with checks made out to St Mary's Outreach, memo Ukraine, or online similarly. Any amount will be welcome, and as we accumulate funds the donations will be forwarded to 'Save the Children.'
We are honoring, particularly, the families connected to St Mary's, and in this community, who came from Ukraine and its neighboring countries, several of whom have family members still in that area.
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen. BCP 815

We had a wonderful turnout for our return of Sunday School.
The children learned songs, heard stories and did crafts that paralleled the Sunday Service.
Children between 5-12 are welcome with a parent or guardian attending Sunday Service. The class begins 9:45.
