The Second Sunday after the Epiphany
Click here: 1/16/22 9:oo a.m. Bulletin
Coffee Hours Suspended for Rest of January
At the Bishop's strong suggestion, the Vestry and I have suspended coffee hours until further notice. As the present wave of COVID infections (spurred by the Omicron variant) subsides, we will revisit this decision.
Better Masks Urged, Will be Provided
Again, following the strong suggestion of our Bishop, the parish is urging all parishioners to use better, more effective masks. We have received a supply of KN95 masks, which will be available for all parishioners in the Narthex. Please take one, wear it in Church, and take it home with you. These masks can be washed.
Long Range Scheduling--Renewal of Marriage Vows January 16.
Every three years, our Gospel lesson is the story of Jesus's presence and first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Our parish has commemorated this by offering the opportunity for those who are married to renew their vows during the 9:00 a.m. Eucharist. Please make plans with your spouse to take part, and invite friends and neighbors to participate as well.
Vestry & Cemetery Committee Plan Section Markers in Cemetery
Markers for the sections in our parish cemetery will be purchased and installed in the spring of 2022.
Buy Fleece for Winter Outreach [January or so]
Now is the time to buy fleece for winter outreach to the homeless. It's available now, and may be less so later into fall and winter. Contact Jill Graham or Helen Dunlap for more information.
Pre-School Opens with Combined MWF Class
Our parish pre-school has opened with a combined class of 3- and 4-year-olds held from 9:00 a.m. until noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. For more information, contact our Pre-School Director, Dawn Viscusi, at the Church Office.
PLEASE PUBLICIZE THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS!!
Bakery Donations from Giant Need More Publicity So That More Folks Get Helped
Too large a proportion of the bakery goods donated to us by Giant Markets and placed each Monday in the Undercroft are discarded at the end of the week. Please tell your friends and neighbors about this resource. More people can be helped, and we can become better stewards of our gifts!
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, will make known particular items we are asking be donated for a particular month [e.g., for November: side dishes, i.e. pasta/rice]. Any items donated are accepted with thanks, but we will be concentrating on the "Items of the Month." In the fall, look for a request for men’s and women’s WINTER clothing, and blankets. Clothing needs to be washed/clean and sorted into men’s/women’s bags or boxes.
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. 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 just received our first check 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.
A Health Update from Fr. Wand's family
Fr. Wand's wife, the Rev. Mike Haines, is home recovering from her surgery, which seems to have gone well. The recovery process takes longer than either Fr. Wand or Mother Haines would like. Fr. Wand and Mother Haines are very grateful for your continued prayers and good wishes.
A Health Update from the parish office Dawn Viscusi
our beloved parish administrator and Pre-School Head, will undergo
surgery next week New Year's.
She will not return to the office until after MLK Day, January 17.
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore."
