As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your faithfulness throughout this challenging year of the pandemic. Our church buildings have been closed but the mission of the church has continued because of you.
You have fed thousands, sheltered the houseless, opened your parish halls to children needing WiFi for school, and communicated the good news of Jesus through Zoom, live streaming and liturgy in parking lots. You have stayed in touch with parishioners without computers with letters and phone calls. I am so inspired by you. History will remember the lives you saved and the grace you conveyed.
