We will hold in-person and live-streamed worship. The instructions for you to take part via livestreaming are in this message.
Funeral of Ralph Painter

The Requiem Eucharist for Ralph Painter, faithful active member of this parish and one of its predecessor parishes will be held Saturday at 11:00.

Time to remember to wear our Name Tags!
While we were more concerned with other issues (e.g., the pandemic), we got out of the habit of wearing our name tags (They would have been helpful when everybody's face was behind a mask!). It's time to make them a practice again. Please remember to wear your name tag each Sunday at Church!
Updated worship customs at Resurrection:
Masks at worship are optional, but strongly encouraged. Our county has moved into the "high" category of transmission. Cloth masks are allowed and welcomed.
Coffee Hours have resumed on Sundays.
The Peace--It's OK to touch now.
The Cup (Wine) at Communion--People can receive in one kind (bread only) or in two kinds (bread and wine). We will be using the common cup. Intinction (dipping your bread in the wine) is still NOT allowed.
The Eucharistic Visitors program is being reactivated. If you would like to visit or be visited, please speak with Fr. Wand or Jude Winters.
Food Pantry Ministry Evolving to Meet Changing Conditions
As the needs of the hungry in our area change, and the best way to help the food pantries we assist changes along with that, we are adjusting how we ask for your support. We will continue gratefully to accept offerings of money from parishioners, but we will be adding an option to make a food donation at the Church as well. Starting now, our Outreach Coordinator, Leigh Oppelt, has listed in the bulletin the items in particular need at the programs we are assisting. Any items donated are accepted with thanks, but we will be concentrating on the Items listed in the bulletin.
How to Donate to the Parish Every Time You Order from Amazon!
Our parish is listed as a charity that is eligible for a donation of 0.50% of the purchase price of all the items you buy on Amazon. Just this week we received our quarterly check from Amazon! All you have to do is shop at Amazon Smile (smile.amazon.com) and choose our parish as your designated charity. If you already have an Amazon login, the next time you shop, go to smile.Amazon.com to make your purchases. When you first login to Amazon Smile they will prompt you to select a charity. We will be listed as Resurrection Episcopal Church Rockdale for you to find and select our parish. Any items that you find on the regular Amazon site are also waiting for you on Amazon Smile. We have received some checks from this program! Pass this information on to family and friends. On a quarterly basis, Amazon will deposit the funds collected from all of your purchases directly to the church bank account.
Readers/Intercessors Needed for Worship Services
With the installation of the new camera, audio, Internet, and streaming equipment, worship is no longer a solo by the Priest celebrating. Parishioners are needed to read lessons and lead prayers--two per service [and two for every 7:30 service!]. If you can help, please contact Helen Dunlap or leave a message at the Church Office.
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore."
