Oh Boy!  How wonderful it was to have Bishop High celebrate Holy Eucharist at our little Community Center on Sunday, March 22.  We had three days to get something together that would be appropriate and everyone did his part to make it happen.  So many thanks to folks; JD Todd got prayer books and candlesticks for us along with an altar book and Gospel book, hymnals from St. Stephen’s in Hurst, palms from Elinor Normand, a register from Janet Waggoner (plus she and her family will be with us for Easter…Yay!), Tracie tracked down some altar kits, Sarah Walker brought her organ and sweet music, Katie Sherrod brought her camera and took photos throughout the service.  Pictures should be up on the website tomorrow sometime.

Not only all that, but we know we are being prayed for.  In fact, we received a letter from a sister church, St. Stephen’s in Heathsville, VA, telling us that they were praying for us on the very first day we met for Morning Prayer at our house.  These folks went through similar circumstances and lost their church building for five years before the litigation was resolved.  They pray that God will continue to guide, inspire and bless us.  All of the congregation signed the letter.  The Rev. Lucia K. Lloyd is the Rector of St. Stephen’s.  They know what we are going through and so they wanted to encourage us.  What a beautiful thing!

If I have forgotten anyone, please forgive me.

For His Sake,

Ellen

p.s.  Y’all come be with us on Palm Sunday.  We’ll have Morning Prayer and fellowship.
