Dear St. Mary's family,
In our ongoing evaluation of our plans at church, the Vestry and I have most recently considered the following:
• The concerning Covid metrics: locally, statewide, and nationally.
• Advisement from state and local health and civic leaders.
• Our Bishop's most recent directives.
• The necessary but strict restrictions on capacity in our buildings.
• The need to make feasible and safe plans for the Christmas holiday
The 2020 Virtual Community Thanksgiving Service premiered on Tuesday, November 24, 2020, at 7:15pm. You will find the recording of the service by clicking here .
Unto Us A Child is Born: Isaiah, Advent, and Our Jewish Neighbors by
Tyler D. Mayfield
“She shall name him Immanuel.”
“For a child has been born for us, a son given to us.”
Quoted by the New Testament more than any other Old Testament book, the
book of the Prophet Isaiah has been called “The Fifth Gospel” due to its
importance to the Christian tradition. At no time is the challenge and
promise of Isaiah more prominent than in the scriptures and music of the
Advent season.
We meet from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in The Marshall Dining Room on the first Monday of each month
