From the rector: “This Sunday, September 5, marks the last of our 11 am services to be fully online. As we transition away from Zoom church as our primary liturgical expression, I give thanks for the amazing gift of presence that I discovered there: the intimacy, simplicity and directness we have shared. I have come to know some of you much better because our faithful community has sojourned through the many phases of the pandemic together.”
