As you know, the Coronavirus news has developed over the last 24 hours. The Governor announced state-wide school closings for a week and encouraged people to stay away from gatherings. Many Episcopal churches (and other churches) have decided to cancel services tomorrow. After talking with our senior warden, it seems that we should do likewise. Bishop Knisely told the clergy that each church could make its own decision about canceling and that he is supportive of whatever we decide. As for now, we are just cancelling tomorrow- we will decide later about next week.
A few housekeeping notes-
- If you know of people who need food, or other essentials,contact the priest.
- Please call, email or write one another. This will be a lonely and isolating time for some people.
- Pray!
- Tomorrow, at 11 am, Presiding Bishop Curry will preach at a worship service at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. It will be live-streamed and you can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUGZLwnLhUU
- Alternatively, tomorrow at 10 am, Christ Church, Westerly will live-stream a morning prayer service The link for that is here
Take care of yourself and love your neighbor!
