Bishop Extends In-Person Sunday Worship Pause Through End of January;
Update expected week of January 25
Because of the rapidly increasing numbers of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths due to COVID-19, the Bishop has continued the pause of in-person worship through the end of the month. He is expected to issue an update in a few weeks concerning the future. The Vestry has recommended the resumption of in-person worship when the Bishop gives his permission. Livestreaming worship will continue via Facebook. Communion after the livestreamed service will be administered on the first Sunday of each month. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Church Office.
This Sunday's Live-Streamed Worship
We will live-stream our worship service at 9:00 a.m. EST . Each Sunday includes two hymns sung by professional soprano Amelia Wilber accompanied on the piano by her mother, our own Debbie Ney. Sing along with vigor!
Parking Lot Communion after Worship
After the 9:00 service, Communion will be available from approximately 10:00 until 10:30 a.m.
Please follow the following directions:
Drive to the Church using the entrance off Pennell Road/ PA Route 452/ "The Back Road."
Go into the road leading up around the front of the Church by going the "Wrong Way" and make a line which begins by the wall leading to the Mount Road entrance.
When you are in line behind the car in front of you, stop, turn off your car, and wait.
Be sure your mask is on correctly.
When Fr. Tom comes to your car, lower your window and extend your hands to receive the wafer. The priest will place a wafer on your hand.
When Fr. Tom has moved on, adjust your mask briefly, and consume the wafer.
Exit via Mount Road.

Parish News Updates:
***Sexton's House for Rent click here for photos***
Bishop Leads Diocesan Worship on Channel 3 Sundays at 5:30 a.m.
Our Bishop is leading worship on broadcast TV. This will be a boon for those without internet connectivity (Please tell your friends both in our parish and out). The broadcasts are on Channel 3 (CBS) on Sundays at 5:30 a.m.
How to Donate to the Parish Every Time You Order from Amazon!
As of NOW, our parish will be listed as a charity that is eligible for a donation of 0.5% of the purchase price of all the items you buy on Amazon. All you have to do is shop at Amazon Smile 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. Pass this information on to family and friends. On a quarterly basis, Amazon will deposit the funds collected from all of your purchase, directly to the church bank account.
Outreach Programs Continue
We continue receiving contributions and disbursing funds to the food pantry. Please fight against "charitable giving fatigue". Winter and an economic situation hitting the poor the hardest are here and not ending anytime soon. Please be as generous as you can. Our giving toward the food bank has reached $13,185 with $11,500 of that already disbursed to buy food for the pantry. (Tom's comment, "WOW!" ) Congratulations and keep up the good work!
Vestry Met and Took these Actions
On January 14, the Vestry met and
*Adopted the 2021 Budget
*Noted that construction on roof and ceiling repairs on the steeple will start immediately
(weather permitting)
*Please contact Phyllis Russell or Janet Russello if you know of someone (or a family) who would be interested in renting the Sexton's House.
Readers/Intercessors Needed for Worship Services
With the installation of the new camera, audio, Internet, and streaming equipment, worship will no longer be a solo by the Priest celebrating. Parishioners are needed to read lessons and lead prayers--one per service. If you can help, please contact the Church Office or Helen Dunlap. The use of a single person to help with worship each Sunday will continue through the pause of in-person worship.
Flowers Returning to Church Worship
With the new visual equipment (and the fact that more of the Church can be seen on our livestreaming), flowers have returned to our Sunday worship as of this Sunday. Please notify the Church Office if you would like to contribute toward the cost of the flowers for a particular Sunday. A contribution of $35 is requested.
Property Committee Busy
The property committee has been hard at work (nothing unusual there). Recent achievements include the repair of the heating system in the Church building and the installation of Internet connectivity and a major upgrade of our audio-visual capabilities in the Church. We are now beginning repairs to the steeple, roof, and balcony ceiling. Thanks to Janet, Phyllis, Helen, and Jim!
Forward Day-By-Day Issue to be distributed by mail
The new issue of Forward Day-By-Day has arrived at the Church Office. Because of pandemic precautions, we will be mailing the issue to parishioners who request one [by mail, email, or phone]. Let us know if you would like a copy, and also if you need one of our limited large-print copies.
