Important Update

Dear All,

 
Mother Dawnell, Deacon Rob, and I were exposed to someone who has tested positive with COVID-19 last Sunday, January 17, at St. Patrick’s. Per State of Louisiana and Bishop Owensby’s guidelines, we are quarantining for 5 days, monitoring our symptoms, and will then be tested.
 
Until that time, all worship at St. Alban’s, St. Thomas’, St. Patrick’s, and Iglesia Episcopal La Esperanza de Familias Unidas will be virtual. Information about worship will be on our blogs and Facebook pages.
 
For those at St. Alban’s, our worship, and 2021 Annual Meeting scheduled for this Sunday, January 24, were already planned to be virtual.
 
We will be in touch about when we are cleared to resume our normal activities. Until then, please keep us in your prayers.
 
Dawnell+, Deacon Rob, and Whit+
 
P.S. – Others who were present at St. Patrick’s this past Sunday will be contacted directly with further instructions by Deacon Rob and Debbie Harkness.

Peanut Butter Drive

This year, St. Alban's, St. Patrick's, St. Thomas', and Iglesia Episcopal La Esperanza de Familias Unidas' Advent - Epiphany Peanut Butter Drive collected 518 pounds of Peanut Butter for the Foodbank of NELA. Our previous record was 235 pounds. Great job all!


Edit: We were assisted by the students and teachers at Linwil Elementary School who collected over 200 jars themselves - We would be remiss not to give them credit!

Convocational Meeting

 A message from The Very Rev'd Dawnell Stodghill, Dean of the Monroe Convocation...

We are rapidly approaching the date of our 2021 Diocesan Convention. Our convention will be held on February 20, 2021. 

In preparation for that day, we need to have our Annual Convocational Meeting, Elections, and make nominations for Diocesan Offices and submit resolutions (if desired). Our Convocation will meet via Zoom on Sunday, January 10, 2021, The First Sunday after the Epiphany: The Baptism of Our Lord Jesus Christ, at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon to conduct our business. 

I remind you that per Canon 16, Sec. 2(d): “At every meeting of a Convocation, each congregation therein, whether parish, mission, or college center having its own communicant register, shall be entitled to six voting delegates to be chosen in such manner as their congregation may desire. A college center not having a communicant register but being attached to a local congregation, shall be entitled to two representatives. Each Clergyperson, canonically and actually resident in the Convocation, shall be entitled to vote.”

Please Pray for Our Nation

 Please join me in prayer for our nation. This prayer is from The Book of Common Prayer, page 824.

 28. In Times of Conflict

O God, you have bound us together in a common life. Help us, in the midst of our struggles for justice and truth, to confront one another without hatred or bitterness, and to work together with mutual forbearance and respect; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Epiphany

 

Today is January 6, 2021, The Epiphany of Our Lord Jesus Christ

O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
