As is customary, the congregation presents a gift to a new rector to celebrate his/her installation. For Lauren, we wish to have a Cope added to the vestments of the church.
A "Cope" is a liturgical vestment, typically worn by clergy for processions, blessings, and other liturgical functions. Essentially it is a full-length cloak worn over vestments that is removed before the beginning of a Eucharist service. How appropriate it is given our patron saint gave away half of his cloak in service to another.
If you are interested in donating to this gift please click here to donate online or write a check and mail to the church office or add to Sunday's plate. Be sure to put "installation gift" in the memo area.
In peace and in thanksgiving for Lauren's presence among us.
~ Dan Sturgeon, Senior Warden
