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.
We will be reinstating our pot luck dinners starting with the Epiphany Pot Luck on Saturday, January 7th at about 6:30 after the 5:30 service! Please come to share fellowship and food!
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.
