Notices for 8 January 2023

Posted on January 8, 2023 by T Foster

This week (10-13 January 2023) the candidates for Bishop of New Jersey are visiting throughout our Diocese! See the Bishop Search website for the particulars of where and when. The meeting closest to Glassboro will be on Wednesday, 11 January, from 1.30-3.30pm at Church of the Ascension (110 S. Sussex Street, Gloucester City NJ 08030). Additionally, you can watch most of the meetings live online or afterwards on the Diocesan Youtube channel. Come hear the candidates for Bishop and then let those representing St. Thomas’ in the election (Donna F., Bobby K., Becky F., Deacon John, Father Todd) know what you think so that your opinion can help inform their votes!

We follow the safety advice offered by the weekly CDC COVID-19 Community Level. That level has moved back to high as the winter sets in. Please wear a mask covering your nose and mouth at any church activities you choose to attend. Masks are available as you enter our worship spaces.

Additionally, our Sunday, 10.30am service will meet in the Parish Hall while the community level is high, whether or not Children’s Church is being offered.

The CDC has moved Gloucester County back into the “High” level of COVID community spread. Please wear a mask at any church activities you choose to attend.

While COVID community spread remains high, our primary worship services (10.30am Sundays) will be in the Parish Hall with windows open — whether or not there is Children’s Chapel.

ATTENTION: Saturday’s Epiphany Potluck is canceled!

Due to the high level of COVID spread in Gloucester County, all events involving eating together, such as potlucks or Coffee Hour, are suspended until the danger is lessened. Likewise masks (covering nose and mouth) are required at all indoor parish events. Meetings which can take place online should do so.

Keep an eye on the CDC’s county-specific “Community Level” ratings. We follow the CDC guidelines for prevention of spread as well as our more detailed Diocesan guidelines.

The Transition Committee invites you to meet our bishop candidates when they’re here in the diocese for the Walkabouts. The candidates will visit with the public 10-13 January, and tour the diocese. Their visit will include visiting the cathedral and several churches, talking about ministries, and meeting many New Jersey Episcopalians. As part of that visit, there will be four Candidate Forums for the candidates to answer questions and engage in conversation with us. Clergy and delegates to the electing convention are especially encouraged to attend a forum, but everyone is welcomed and all of the forums will be available for remote viewing via the internet. The forum at Holy Trinity, South River will be available in English and Spanish, both in person and on the livestream/recording. Mark your calendar now for the forum of your choice! More information on locations/times can be found here. The closest visit to our area will be Wednesday, 11 January 2023 at Church of the Ascension in Gloucester City.

Lectionary readings for this week: Isaiah 42:1-9, Acts 10:34-43, Matthew 3:13-17, Psalm 29

Lectionary readings for next week: Isaiah 62:1-5, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11, John 2:1-11, Psalm 36:5-10
