The Eucharist will be celebrated at 10:00AM from the pews and via Zoom(login instructions above). The service bulletin may be viewed or downloaded. The loose plate collection on third Sundays helps fund the Rector’s discretionary account, used to assist neighbors in need.

Join us in the Undercroft following the morning’s service for Coffee Hour fellowship, refreshments, and puzzling.

The first of four confirmation classes will be held after the morning’s liturgy in the Choir Room … continue reading

Prayer Calendar

In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for The Anglican Church of Kenya.

In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for those involved in specialized licensed ministries throughout the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, including lay preachers, worship leaders, catechists, Eucharistic ministers and visitors, and lay readers; and for our altar guilds, musicians, and worship committees. We also pray for the parishes of Emmanuel (Alexandria, Rushford).

Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care Team has a request for all: as we practice our social distancing, do not let that extend to social isolation. Take a few minutes every day to call someone to see how they are doing – to reach out and say a prayer with them and/or find out if they need anything. One of the things that is so important right now is to connect with our community. If there are those who need help, please let us know and we will figure out how to assist; if you are that person, please reach out to Deacon Janet or Pat Trumbull. As Jesus said: Love one another.
