O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Join us for the Sunday service at 11am via Zoom, after which friend of the parish Dr. Clay Williams will walk us through COVID-19 vaccines: how they work, the variety that will be in use, and the ethical issues related to distribution and vaccination of the public.
