Join us for this service of Morning Prayer for the 7th Sunday of Easter.

This is our last Sunday of the Easter season before Pentecost Sunday next week.

We read from the 1st Psalm of David this mornng: "Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked... Their delight is in the law of the Lord... They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; everything they do shall prosper."
And Jesus prays for his disciples, his followers, us, for protection and sanctification.

.

Thanks be to God that the COVID numbers in Clarke County are continuing to remain low and we can worship again in person.

Our LIVE service begins at 11am. Please come early for COVID check-in, wear your mask, and listen to some joyful prelude music before the service.

If you are more comfortable continuing to keep your distance, we understand.

The Collect of the Day for this Sunday:

O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
