Christ Church Cobble Hill, Brooklyn

The Episcopal Bishop of Washington has words of grace, anger, and re-direction this morning. Eyes on the prize, everyone.

Poems for spiritual continuity in a time of distance and worry...

Friends and Neighbors, at the request of our Bishop and following the recommendation of the CDC, Christ Church will curtail all activity as a place of assembly. This applies to both our Sunday liturgies and other building usage. We see this as an act of solidarity with the vulnerable among us, as we all quarantine a bit in the attempt to suppress the spread of the covid-19 virus. Please visit this page or our web site -- https://christchurchcobblehill.net/ -- for news as we ...- and other places of public assembly - move to re-open. In the meanwhile: I recommend some online community for prayer and singing, worship and contemplation: The Daily Office (prayer and scripture) from the Mission St Clare: https://www.missionstclare.com/english/ Online liturgies - Sunday at 11:15am and other times - streaming from the Washington, DC Episcopal cathedral (experience something new!): https://www.youtube.com/watch Prayer, fasting, and alms-giving in Lent and Easter are nothing new; we are called to a different sort of Lenten fast this year, but it must remain a fast in solidarity with the poor and vulnerable, redirecting us toward the One who is the source of all healing, justice, and comfort. Check in on your neighbors and the elderly to see if they need anything. Support a freelancer or a service worker affected by income loss. As ever: Peace!
