Compline Services on Zoom 

Tuesday and Thursday Evenings  at 8:30 p.m.

Sharing Compline twice a week is a meaningful way for people to gather for worship during these times of social isolation. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings we check in for a few minutes with others to share our joys and concerns. Compline is the last prayer service of each day – a brief time (about 10 minutes) to gather to “say goodnight” to God and one another. The Compline Service is found in the Book of Common Prayer (p. 127-135) and appears on the screen for those who log into Zoom on a computer, iPad, or other device. If you phone in on one of the numbers listed below, you can follow along in your own Prayer Book.  The Zoom instructions for joining in this lovely time of prayer are below.

BIBLE STUDY – Gospel of Matthew STARTS

THURSDAY EVENING at 7:30 p.m. on ZOOM
 

Our weekly Bible study starts up again this Thursday evening (October 7) on Zoom. We’ll be exploring the Gospel of Matthew, the first book in the New Testament in small segments week to week. Our first group of studies (4-5 weeks) will look at Matthew’s initial ideas about God’s Kingdom through reading about Jesus’ genealogy, childhood, and preparation for ministry in Chapters 1-4. Anyone is welcome to attend this one hour study which will help all of us to understand Matthew’s Gospel better and strengthen our faith and trust in God. Each session concludes by 8:30 p.m. so.  If you have a Bible, please have it with you.  You can join in on any session (you don’t have to attend every week) with your computer or tablet on Zoom or phone in using the Zoom instructions below.

CANONSBURG—When Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard, it was bare.

Canonsburgers in a pinch no longer have to face the same fate. They can find relief in a new Blessing Box along North Jefferson Avenue.

Operating under the banner, “take what you need, give what you can” the Blessing Box offers non-perishable dry goods for households in need of immediate food relief.

The location has been stocked with cereal, pasta, sauce, ramen noodles and other non-perishable goods by members of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church. Neighbors are welcome to “take what you need” or “give what you can” to help others.

“As followers of Jesus, we are looking beyond meeting people’s spiritual needs to bring blessing to those who are hungry physically. Our hope is that in some small way they experience God’s love and concern for their well-being,” commented Canon Cathy Brall, St. Thomas’ pastor. 

The Blessing Box is part of the Canonsburg church’s mission to: welcome all with open arms in the name of God. The Blessing Box ministry is the work of numerous parishioners led Gary Naeser, the congregation’s Junior Warden.

If you would like to contribute, St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church welcomes donations of unexpired, shelf-stable food items in boxes, pouches, plastic, or cans. No glass items are accepted.

St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church is located at 139 North Jefferson Avenue, Canonsburg, PA 15317.
