Dear Congregation,

Gov. Cuomo has just declared a state of emergency for New York, which enables funding to support testing and response to the Coronavirus developments. It is not required that we cancel large gatherings yet. It may come to this in the next weeks, and we will keep you posted as things develop.

All events at church are still on for tomorrow, and if you are feeling strong and healthy enough, please come! If you are worried/concerned, please do whatever you need to, and remember the power of prayer - that can be done anywhere, anytime. I look forward to seeing you, and let me know if I can lend you support in any way during this Lenten season. Remember His words: Fear not, I AM.

The reading for tomorrow is Matthew 17, the Transfiguration. Blessings for strength, health, and maintaining community connections even if and when we have to stay home!

Rev. Liza Marcato

PS Those who come to church and receive communion can also think of those who couldn't make it, for whatever reason!
