Today...

Palm Sunday 

March 20, 2016

 

May the mess and loss of the Holy Weeks of our lives, be so transformed by the new life and hope of Easter and the resurrection, that we learn to remember our current pain and hurt through the lens of joy and triumph. 

 

With this in mind, let us line the road into our hearts with palms of welcome and the song of hosannas! Amen

 

Domingo de Ramos

Que el desorden y la pérdida de las Semanas Santas de nuestras vidas, por lo que se transforman por la nueva vida y la esperanza de la Pascua y la resurrección, que aprendamos a recordar nuestro dolor actual y daño a través del lente de alegría y triunfo.

 

¡Con esto en mente, vamos a borde del camino en nuestros corazones con las ramosde bienvenida y el canto de hosannasAmén

This Sunday...

Okay, set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night. Then join us at St. Alban's Episcopal Church on Sunday morning for Holy Eucharist at 8:30 or 10:30 a.m.

You can decide whether to complain to God about loosing an hour of sleep or thanking God for a high and dry church! You make the call! I know what I think...




Good News!

St. Alban's - Friday, March 11, 2016 Just completed a walking tour of the church with Sr. Warden and Rain-watchman, Edwin Adams - NO Water or leaks anywhere in the church! An absolute miracle as you can tell from the previous photos.
Access to the neighborhood is still restricted until further notice (and should be, till it's safe).
Stay tuned for more info about Sunday worship - if access is still limited - we will join the folks at St. Thomas' - don't worry - I know the priest!
Prayers of thanks to God and for those parishioners with water in their homes or at work!

Not in the church yet, but close! Thanks to Sr. Warden Edwin Adams for keeping an eye on things!
Some parishioners are flooded and many in town hurting and displaced. Keep praying and lend a hand!
Expect a call from me today too! Love you all!

Prayers for Tonight...

Say a prayer for St. Alban's and the folks in our neighborhood tonight.... The words of this hymn seem appropriate...
Hymn 608
Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
and hushed their raging at thy word,
who walkedst on the foaming deep,
and calm amid the storm didst sleep;
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
Most Holy Spirit, who didst brood
upon the chaos dark and rude,
and bid its angry tumult cease,
and give, for wild confusion, peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
O Trinity of love and power,
our brethren shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;
thus evermore shall rise to thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Amen

Weather Cancellation!

Tonight's Lenten Eucharist at Supper at St. Thomas' has been cancelled because of the weather. Stay dry and pray for those in areas of local flooding!
