Liturgical GuidelinesUpdate Liturgical Guidelines – Update My apologies for not having liturgical guidelines and best practices available before Holy Week and Easter. Best practices and liturgical guidelines for offering the Eucharist in both kinds while we are not able to share a common cup/chalice are being created with input from parishes around the Diocese and oversight by a sub-group of the Archdeacons. This information will be shared with clergy within the next week. The delays are mine alone. Thank you for your patience. – Bishop Sandra For more infomation visit:

SIX-MINUTE STUDY #246GO: THE CHURCH SCATTERED In the last few years, we are striving to know our neighbours better, and to explore the rewarding ways of loving service. Our diocesan emphasis on the missional call to connect with the wider community has parish leaders reframing how we actively minister. As we learn and grow, we also rediscover our baptismal identity. Read more about this in, THE WAY OF LOVE: GO - Go Cross Boundaries, Listen Deeply, and Live Like Jesus. The article is written by Jerusalem Greer, staff officer for evangelism for the Episcopal Church in the Office of the Presiding Bishop. For more infomation visit:
