Confirmations & Receptions
There will be a regional Confirmation and Reception service Saturday, May 22 - one in the western part of the diocese at 10:30 a.m. and a second in the eastern part at 4:00 p.m. Attendance limited to those being confirmed or received and sponsors or immediate family. We plan to livestream the service. A Fall 2021 date will be determined later.

Worship

Because of the pandemic’s uncertainty, the form of Visitation will be determined two weeks prior to the date. Communication and planning can be done leading up to the date, but we need to be open to the possibility that the plan may change at the last minute. You will receive a digital copy of the “office of bishop” flyer to share with your members.

Option 1

In Person Eucharist: Preferred option. If limitations allow and it can be done safely with low risk, the Bishop will be physically present to celebrate the Holy Eucharist. Local conditions will be considered (e.g if services are livestreamed, the average Sunday attendance) and the service will not include Confirmations or Receptions (see below). If able, we will have some type of after worship visit such as a socially distanced outside gathering or an “in your pews” time of fellowship. These decisions will be made two weeks prior.

Option 2

Zoom Morning Prayer: Secondary option. The Bishop will lead Morning Prayer via Zoom. Not all may be able to access Zoom via internet, but there are phone in options as well. This is not ideal, however Zoom Morning Prayer allows worship together. Immediately following there will be time for Zoom fellowship.

Dates Available

Beyond Worship

Option A

Joining the Vestry: If pandemic limitations allow, I can attend a Vestry meeting in-person. If not, then via Zoom. I would share for about 10 minutes and then take questions. I would be a quiet observer during the rest of the meeti

Option B

Joining a Group: If pandemic limitations allow, I can attend a small group meeting in-person. If not, then via Zoom. This could be a Bible study, or discussion group, or even a Buildings and Grounds Committee meeting. I am open to join any small group activity in your church, simply to be present.

Option C

Joining a Special Event: If pandemic limitations allow, I can attend a special event in person. If not, then via Zoom. This might be church movie night or concert or game night. I am open to join in any special event activity in your church, simply to be pre
