At the February Mission Board meeting, the Vicar and Mission Board decided to resume in-person worship on Ash Wednesday, March 2.
Parishioners are expected to be fully vaccinated, wear a mask fully covering their mouth and nose, and are encouraged to remain socially distant if possible. The Ash Wednesday worship service (5:00 PM), which begins the Church’s season of Lent, will include the distribution of ashes and the Holy Eucharist, with congregants receiving the bread only. In-person worship will continue during the Sundays in Lent and beyond. St. Cyprian’s will also continue to live-stream our worship services on YouTube Live. If you do not wish to attend the Ash Wednesday service, there will be small bags of ashes available at the church beginning Monday, February 21 that you may use as you follow the service on St. Cyprian's YouTube Channel - Live at 10. (These ashes, at least in part, are from the burning of the palms from Palm Sunday 2021.) An Announcement from Fr. Ted, St. Cyprian’s Vicar, regarding suspending In-Person Worship as of today, December 29, 2021 With the Omicron variant of COVID-19 spreading rapidly in our area, St. Cyprian’s Vicar and Mission Board have suspended in-person worship until further notice. The front-page headline in Tuesday’s St. Augustine Record says, “County cases more than tripled over last week.” And, at least one person who worshiped at St. Cyprian’s on Christmas Eve has since found out that they were exposed to someone who has tested positive for the virus, and is showing symptoms. (This person has not yet received their own test results.) The Washington Post reported, “Healthy, boosted people unlikely to develop severe omicron infections, but jury’s out on older, at-risk populations.” Since the demographics of St. Cyprian’s tend towards the “older, at risk population,” for the health of all in our congregation the Vicar and Mission Board feels that is better to err on the side of caution by suspending in-person worship until this surge in infections abates. I know I speak for others in saying that I am disheartened by this turn of events. However, for almost two years the people of St. Cyprian’s have shown an amazing resilience in the face of this pandemic. This community of faith has responded to our circumstances with care and compassion. Your faith and prayers have permeated our congregational life. We have walked this path before, and we can do it again … with hopes that this path is at least a little shorter and smoother. Our Sunday service of Holy Eucharist will continue to be streamed on YouTube Live. And, the church will once again be open for prayer and meditation every day of the week from 9am until at least 4:30pm. Stay safe and be well. Blessings and peace … Ted+ Vicar St. Cyprian's YouTube Channel
The Sunday service will be live streamed at 10:00 am EST The recording will be available after the service Lessons and Carols
