From the Pastor - February 5

Greetings to the Saints at Ebenezer!

I'm so excited to share a time of fellowship and learning with you tomorrow, Saturday, February 6th! From 1:00 to 2:30 pm, we'll explore together the practices and life-together of one of the earliest Christian communities through the writings of the Didache. This mini-retreat will begin to focus our community on our baptisms and more, as Lent approaches.

To that end, we have made the decision to keep our community primarily online through Easter, and then evaluate what the next steps may be in accordance with the latest health and safety protocols. On Saturday, February 13th, you're invited to pick up a bag of liturgy supplies for use at home for Ash Wednesday, Lent, Holy Week, and Easter, at the church from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm. These items will accompany you through this holy season and sync with our online liturgies for these days. Let us know if you would like a bag dropped off for you; we'll do our best to get it to you!

In person Holy Communion pickup will resume during Lent for those who are comfortable doing so.
I remain grateful for all of you as we have weathered this most trying of times. Take good care and I look forward to seeing those who are able for our online retreat!

Take good care,

Pastor Michael
