I hope you’re safe and warm in your homes. After considering all the factors, we’ve decided to cancel services tomorrow (January 12, 2025). Current conditions and the 24-hour forecast are unfavorable for the melting we need throughout the city to bring everyone together safely for services.

We had planned to celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord tomorrow, so given the cancellation of tomorrow’s services, we will observe this feast next Sunday, January 19th, at our 10am combined service. Our Annual Parish Meeting will follow next Sunday’s combined service.

I encourage you to gather with those in your household tomorrow for Morning Prayer from the ACNA 2019 Book of Common Prayer. If you haven’t done Morning Prayer before, this may seem difficult, but rest assured, it’s easier than you think, AND we have you covered with all the resources you’ll need below.

Resources

  • O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Peace,
