THE WORSHIP SERVICE ON JANUARY 24 IS CANCELLED DUE TO THE BLIZZARD

Since you can't make it to church on this snowy Sunday,  listen to this sermon given by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry on Thursday night.  He preached at the opening Eucharist for the Trinity Institute conference titled. "Listen for Change- Sacred Conversations for Racial Justice."  It is a little long (26 minutes), but you will be on the edge of your seat the whole time and he will make you laugh.
