WEAR RED THIS SUNDAY! Support our confirmands...come to the 10:00 am service and wear something RED!
The consecration service location for the Rev. Susan Bunton Haynes has been changed to the Williamsburg Community Chapel, 3899 John Tyler Highway, Williamsburg.
STEWARDS SERVE – And a voice came from heaven saying, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased”. MATTHEW 3:17
Two thoughts come to mind when reading this:
First, God, Our Father, is so generous, that he gave his only son, whom he really loved, to us so that we can have eternal life with him in heaven. God, Our Creator, really loves us too!
Second, Jesus was obedient to his Father’s will, even to the point of death. This is a reminder that our own lives are pure gifts from God and, as His Stewards, we are meant to serve God and others.
The Consecration of our next bishop will take place Saturday, February 1. These services are quite impressive, so if you are interested plan to attend!
