distance. Please bring a lawn chair if
possible, our supply is limited. Read Fr John's
invitation. Pieces of the service.
For the next several weeks, we will also continue Zoom

Site Resources:
When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born
of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who
were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as
children. And because you are children, God has sent the
Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child
then also an heir, through God.
Gallatians
4:4-7
