All Diocese Online Worship for Easter Day

EASTER DAY ALL DIOCESE ONLINE WORSHIP | APRIL 12, 2020 AT 10 AM

We enjoy seeing all the comments in our livestream worship service, especially comments telling us where you were joining us from! We look forward to seeing you again this week for our special Easter Day worship.

We again invite you to come together as a diocese, as one part of the body of Christ, to worship with us. At 10 am, we will live stream a Liturgy of the Word with a special sermon from Bishop Miller via YouTube and Facebook Live. All of our all diocese liturgies feature officiants, preachers, readers, and musicians from throughout the diocese.

Resources for Holy Week at Home

Dear Friends in Christ,

Our Lent like no other now moves this week into a Holy Week like no other. In this issue of E-News, you will find a number of resources to aid in your observance of these most important days in our faith. One of my hopes is that families that are safer at home together will use these as new ways to give depth and meaning to family celebrations. I hope others will use them in part of the many virtual gatherings.

These resources invite us to reflect on the story of God's love poured out in Jesus in new ways. My hope is that a result will be new insights into the depth, meaning, and power of God's love for us shown in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Please know of my prayers for you at this most challenging time.

Yours in Easter Hope,

The Rt. Rev. Steven Andrew Miller
Bishop
