Pastoral Epistle – January 19, 2023

Beloved Congregation,Greetings in Jesus!
“Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭63‬:‭3
God’s loving kindness cannot be fathomed; it is more than we can comprehend; therefore we spontaneously respond by praising Him. 
Kindly pray for our upcoming vestry meeting and for all preparations.  Date will be announced shortly. 
Parochial leaders:   Kindly submit your annual report at the earliest.  It will help the wardens to compile the Vestry Reports.  
Sunday, January 29th:  Fifth Sunday, Service will include Songs and Testimonies.  Please let me know if you have a testimony or a song.  Encourage your children to participate as well. We will not have Holy Eucharist on fifth Sunday, January 29th.
Edification on Altar and Sacraments:  On Sunday, the 29th following Coffee Hour, we will have a brief session for youth and whomever would like to join for a session to explain the relevance of  some of our traditions and practices at the Altar. All are welcome.
