Congratulations
on 56 Years!
Dr.
LaMonte and Mrs. Janise Wyche will celebrate their 56th
Wedding Anniversary on August 23, 2020.
O God,
You have so consecrated the covenant of marriage that in it is
represented the spiritual unity between Christ and his Church;
Send therefore your blessing upon LaMonte and Janise, that they
may continue to so love, honor, and cherish each other in
faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, that
their home may be a haven of blessing and peace; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen

Sunday
Worship
Change
in our Liturgy
This Sunday, you’ll notice a few differences in
our order of worship. Most importantly, our service will include
an opportunity to receive Holy Communion. If you previously
picked up consecrated bread and wine from the church, you may
consume it when invited to do so. We’ll follow the form found on
page 396 of the Book of Common Prayer (“Communion under Special
Circumstances”), which also includes Confession and a
Post-Communion Prayer.
If there is more than one person in your
household, I encourage you to serve Communion to one another.
If you did not have an opportunity to pick up
consecrated bread and wine, you may wish to pray the prayer below
while others are receiving. It’s a prayer for Spiritual Communion
that originated in Apartheid South Africa, in another time when
the sacraments of the Church were not always readily available.
Jesus,
may all that is you flow into me.
May
your body and blood be my food and drink.
May
your passion and death be my strength and life.
Jesus,
with you by my side enough has been given.
May
the shelter I seek be the shadow of your cross.
Let
me not run from the love which you offer
But
hold me safe from the forces of evil.
On
each of my dyings shed your light and your love.
Keep
calling to me until that day comes
When,
with your saints, I may praise you for ever.
Amen.
(1989 Anglican Church of South Africa)

All those desiring to partake in receiving Holy
Communion during our live-streamed service may pick up
pre-consecrated elements at the church on Fridays between 9:00
am to 12:00 noon. Or on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 11:00
am. Please ring the bell at the side door and The Rev.
Jenkins will bring you the elements. You will receive the
elements in a container. Please handle the pre-consecrated
elements with reverence and keep in a sacred place in your home.
We begin with Holy Communion in our Liturgy this

Kwanzaa Kitchen: Janis has
been able to come up with a unique way in which we will continue
to feed the hungry in this important ministry. It involves fewer
than 6 people and we will pack the food to go and place it
outside on tables for people to take their breakfast with them.
We will continue this way until we are able to gather groups
together again.
