Due to an unexpected number of cases of COVID-19 within the congregation, Fr. Looker, in concensus with the Rector’s Council, has made the decision to hold all of our services this weekend in a “virtual only” format. This means that our Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Sunday services will not be open to the public, but rather will be lead by a small team who will ensure that people are able to worship together through our live stream on Church of the Messiah’s Facebook page.  We know that this is disappointing for so many who have rich traditions of worshipping together in this season, but as pastors and shepherds of souls, the safety of the congregation is our utmost concern. We will continue to pray for those who are affected.  Until we can safely come together and worship once again in person, we hope that you will join us online at Facebook.com/MessiahCEC. Thank you for your prayers and faithfulness.
