Donating to Loaves and Fishes
Dear Christ Church,

Below you can find a letter that I wrote to our greater community about supporting our Loaves and Fishes Ministry, and I wanted to be sure that you saw it as well.

The past few months I have been so proud to see our Church step up to help alleviate some of the stress of the pandemic. One difficult aspect of our situation is that we need to keep our volunteer base as small as possible to limit the risk of spreading the virus. It is times like this that we need to remember that sometimes we are called to act and other times we are called to be still. As frustrating as it is, most of us are called to remain at home as much as possible during the pandemic. I am deeply thankful for the volunteers that have made Loaves and Fishes possible the past few months, but I am also deeply thankful for those of you who stay home out of a sense of love for your neighbor. 
Blessings,
Nick

Hope in Troubled Times
In these troubled times hymns can offer great support and comfort.  I think these verses from hymn 482, tune name Slane, fill the emptiness in the soul.
Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy, 
Be there at our waking, and give us we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.

Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,
Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the  lathe,
Be there at our labors, and give us, we pray,
Your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day.
Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace, 
Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace,
Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.
Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm,
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
Your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.

Daily Prayer, and Sundays

The Daily Office is read each day over Christ Episcopal Church's Facebook Page, Morning Prayer at 9, Noonday Prayer, and Evening Prayer at 5.
On Sundays there is Bible study at 9:30 and Morning Prayer with Homily at 10:30 via Zoom. The links for both of these offerings are on the homepage of the website.

Sunday In-Person Services Held in the Gathering Place

We are offering Evening Prayer in the Gathering Place behind the Church building at 5:00. There will be a few responsible steps that we are going to take to ensure that everyone is safe.
  1. Masks and social distancing of at least six feet will be required.
  2. There will be no singing, and we will not hand out prayer books or bulletins. If You like, you may print a bulletin from the website.
  3. We are going to record everyone that is present, so if anyone comes down with symptoms later we can let the rest of the group know.  
Even with all of these caveats I am still thrilled to worship with you in person on Sunday!
