Holy Spirit Serves at Christine's Kitchen

On Saturday, May 11 members of our congregation will join parishioners from Holy Innoccents West Orange to serve a meal at Christine's Kitchen, which is a feeding ministry that is a part of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in West Orange. We'll meet at Church of the Holy Spirit Verona at 10am and car pool over to West Orange to set up for serving the meal at noon.

FLOWERING SUNDAY

Join us on Sunday, April 28 as we "flower the cross," turning a symbol of pain and suffering into one of rebirth and renewal. Please bring any type of flower or greenery.

While some churches "flower the cross" on Easter Sunday, it's been a long tradition at Holy Spirit to embrace this tradition on the Second Sunday of Easter.

Sunday, May 12, in celebration of all women, we are asking members to bring in photos of any mom, grandma, aunt, female figure, etc. you would like to celebrate for Mothers' Day this year. We will display the photos of these special women on the altar, and we'll hold them in prayer during the 10am Worship.

Welcome to Church of the Holy Spirit!

The red door on an Episcopal (Anglican) Church is traditionally a sign of welcome. Come through the door, and you'll discover that we are a multi-generational, family-centered church. Our congregation worships together, supports each other in times of trouble, celebrates together, and does God’s work in the world. We are open, welcoming, and inclusive. We invite you to join us.

Finding Holy Spirit

The Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit is located at 36 Gould Street, Verona, and is one block north of Bloomfield Avenue. It is directly across the street from the H.B. Whitehorne Middle School track.

Park in the parking lot and come in the red door. Before each service, you are likely to find our rector standing on the sidewalk or front steps to greet you.
