Exciting Upcoming Events
Snow Day
Snow Update
Due to inclement weather, all services are cancelled for Saturday, February 6 and Sunday, February 7.
We encourage everyone to take advantage of some quality time at home and to hold your own worship time at home.
The Book of Common Prayer is available online at http://www.bcponline.org/. Morning Prayer begins on page 76.
The Readings for Sunday morning are:
Isaiah 6:1-8, [9-13]
Psalm 138
1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Luke 5:1-11
You may read this week's sermon by clicking here. This week's sermon is loosely based on the reading from Luke. We ask everyone to take time to read the lessons for the day, the sermon and to pray - either using the Book of Common Prayer or prayers from your heart for those who are without shelter during this storm, those who are sick and those who are in need. May God bless you and keep you safe and warm.
LOL Sunday Nights
Join the new LOL Youth Service Sunday nights - starting Sunday - January 10 at 5:30pm. These services are open to all High Schoolers and any youth who are confirmed in the Episcopal church. We will have dinner, a worship service like the 9:15 service, with some familiar faces in the band, a talk that is relevant to the life of teens, as well as small groups with really cool leaders.
