Palm Sunday 2021

Holy Week 2021 Photos
Holy Week 2021 was different than any other.  Most of our services were held online with only worship leaders in-person in our Chapel and/or Sanctuary.  We still marked each part of Jesus' story -- Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. View

Gathering Sunday 2020 Photos
Our Gathering Sunday (return from the Summer) is often held outdoors when the weather permits; however, in 2020 it was that much more significant as September 13 was the first time our congregation had gathered in person for worship since Sunday, March 8.  It was a wonderful celebration complete with masks, physical distancing and our new cantor Ema Mitrovic.

Our Christmas Pageant was very different this year, but still reminded us of the joy that comes at Christmas with the arrival of baby Jesus.  Thanks to our Sunday School students, parents, teachers: Ms. Kathleen and Ms. Sunovia, and especially student Stephen for compiling this amazing video which was shared during worship services on Sunday, December 13.  Enjoy!

Holy Week 2020 in Extraordinary Time Photos
Despite the need to "fast from public worship" we gathered as a community virturally to mark Holy Week 2020.  The liturgies of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday in the midst of a pandemic certainly make for extraordinary time.  Read the captions to understand what was happening in that virch (virtual church) service.

This year's Christmas Pageant was held Sunday, December 15, written by Father Jerry and directed by Ms. Kathleen Gentile and our Seminarian Katherine Rollo.  The students told the story of Jesus in five scenes with many Christmas hymns.  The children told of the "Amazing Love" Christ brings at Christmas.  Older students served as acolytes and junior ushers on this day.  Thanks to the parents and students who helped make it happen.
