The visit of our beloved Bishop Jennifer Reddall
It was a source of great joy and privilege to welcome The Right Reverend Jennifer Reddall into our midst. Her presence graced us as we embarked upon the sacred endeavor of embracing our neighborhood and God’s people, and she joined us in profound worship during both of our services of celebration. During the final choir’s melodious rendition, we were uplifted by the sight of Reverend Jim Clark, who walked through the congregation on the patio, radiating joy as he bestowed blessings with holy water. In that sacred moment, we were all reminded of our profound connection as the cherished community of Jesus.
