The newsletter is titled "Headlines and Happenings" and always includes an article from our rector, Fr. David Peck. The latest issue's "A Letter From Fr. David", dated March 13, 2020, is somewhat different than most letters he sends to the parishioners of the church. He began the letter with "Dear People of God, Again I begin my letter to you with the words of Jesus: "I am the vine, you are the branches." (John 15:5) Please memorize this verse and make it a common prayer with me. He then added that his letter handed to the congregation last weekend needs to be amended, since the Bishop has issued a directive to close churches beginning this weekend. So he writes: I HAVE MADE THE DECISION THAT, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, WE WILL WORSHIP TOGETHER ONLINE ONLY because of the size of congregations at Saint James. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND SERVICES AT CHRUCH UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Fr. David Peck, St. James Minister |
