Dear People of St. Christopher's
This Sunday
...Jesus teaches the crowd and his disciples in parables. The kingdom of God is like a seed that grows in the dark, unseen, and like a tiny seed that grows into the greatest of all shrubs, providing rest for all. The kingdom of God is like nothing we know, and a little bit like just about anything we can think of. It is the home we've never been to, the place we are homesick for without ever having been there. Of anything we can experience, it is the most familiar and the most strange.
This Sunday a few things will be different. First, we are experimenting with reusable bulletins at 10:30. The parts of the liturgy that stay the same week to week will be printed in one booklet we'll keep using until mid-July (unless this experiment is a total failure, in which case we'll abandon it quickly), while an insert that updates every week will contain the parts that change. Second, our current regathering plan allows us to sing, masked, at 10:30 this Sunday. This week we are continuing to wear masks during the liturgy, to sign up in advance, and to sit distanced from each other in the church and at Wiggle Worship on the lawn. The vestry will meet Tuesday night and will make decisions, in conversations with new guidance coming from the diocese, on how to gather during phase five. As always, your patience and flexibility are greatly appreciated!
To attend an in-person service, please read our updated safety protocols.
