Bishop Haynes, in consultation with the Diocesan Health Advisory Panel, has notified all churches in the Diocese of Southern Virginia that effective immediately, public worship is suspended. (Click here to read the Bishop's message.)
- There will be no Wednesday service on January 5. This service is suspended until further notice.
- All group meetings and gatherings are suspended until further notice.
- Fellowship Groups should postpone any gatherings until at least February.
- Beginning this Sunday, January 9, there will be one virtual service at 10:30 AM on Sunday mornings. You can watch the service live and the recording will be available to watch later. A link to the Sunday service will be emailed to you on Sunday mornings.
- There will be two ways to receive communion. You can call or text Bill Wilds, 757-880-5460 weekdays between 9 AM and noon, to pick up communion kits to use while watching the service. Alternatively, a member of the clergy will be outside the River Road entrance to the church from 11:30 to 12:00 to give communion.
- Offerings can be mailed in, or placed in the mailbox outside the Main Street entrance.
As the pace of coronavirus transmission accelerates, driven by the omicron and delta variants, safeguarding public health and mitigating the risk of COVID transmission becomes a Christian imperative. Our baptismal covenant to seek and serve Christ in all persons and respect the dignity of every human being is central to our commitment as Christians and lies at the heart of our response to the threat the pandemic poses.
