APRIL 8 CONGREGATIONAL UPDATE

We are in the midst of a Holy Week that is unlike any we have ever lived through in modern times.  At St. Thomas', we continue to stick together as a congregation through phone calls, emails, text messages, our Facebook page (see lower right column) and a Facebook chat group.  We continue to worship together from our home three times a week- see the column on the right for all the details.  There will be a Zoom meeting at 6 pm for the Wednesday Evening Prayer service. Contact the priest if you want the link for that meeting. This week, parishioners have made short reflective videos that include prayers, readings and thoughts.  We have shared these with our congregation as we encourage each other in prayer and love.
If you would like to be on this email list, or Facebook chat group- or if you would like us to pray for you, send a message to the priest (see Contact Information in tab at the top of this page).
In case you missed these news items, the Episcopal Church has made headlines in RI and across the country.  Did you read about all of the N95 masks found at our National Cathedral in Washington DC  (view the article here).  And this week, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC is going to turn its sanctuary into a hospital (read about it here).  Then, the Rev. Meaghan Kelly Brower, director of ECC,  was in the news with a rap video she made (view it here)
