Dear Friends:
Bishop Rodman has issued new directives for congregations of our diocese regarding the coronavirus. Included in these directives is the extended suspension of in-person worship and gatherings until May 17.
At least once a week, we will be writing a letter to you to keep you informed of how St. Paul’s will comply with these directives and share ways that we are continuing in ministry together. As George has said over the years, St. Paul’s is a faith community that lives in the rhythm of gathering and being sent forth. Responding to the coronavirus through social distancing does not need to mean disconnectedness. During this time, we will simply need to experience community in new and creative ways.
The Rt. Rev. Rob Wright, bishop of The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, recently said: “The church cannot be cancelled, the church can only adapt! Press on, take care of one another, take care of yourself. God is trustworthy!” Let this remind us all that we are the Church. While we will not be gathering face-to-face for the weeks ahead, church will continue because we are the Body of Christ, even when we are apart.
Many of you have been asking us, “How can I help?” Below are some opportunities to do that in the coming weeks:
We will make more information available as we go forward. These are challenging times, my friends. But together, we can walk into the dream that God has for us.
The Rev. George Adamik, Rector
The Rev. Javier Almendarez-Bautista, Associate Rector
