It is another option for Good Friday, this year, for us to be join as One Church, so that together we may seek healing for all who are unwell, wisdom for those whose work is halting the spread of coronavirus, and strength for all God’s children.

In Christ,

Let us continue to pray for one another, for all those dedicated women and men caring for sick, the dying, their families, for all those who go to work each day to help us through these very difficult times, and let us also include a special prayer for our parishioners who have contracted the virus and are slowly recovering at home.

Stay healthy and safe. May God continue to bless you and all of us.
