Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F044AACAB2CA6F49-chapel4 Wine Resumes During Communion St. Peter's has resumed the practice of offering Communion in two-kinds, both the bread and the wine. As in pre-pandemic times, parishioners will have the option to either sip from the chalice, or to intinct (dip) the bread into the chalice. Please understand that consuming the wine, or not, is your choice; as we have all learned over the 2+ years, we fully receive Communion when we receive in one-kind. In fact, long before the pandemic, many of our siblings in Christ refrained from communion wine for various personal reasons. Related Public Health Information Please continue to be considerate of others. If you are feeling unwell, please consider staying home, and at the very least, please refrain from partaking in the common cup. Masking remains optional and welcomed around St. Peter's. COVID-19 (among other public health concerns) is still with us, and we will continue to remain vigilant should adjustments to our shared parish life become necessary. Finally, as a basic public health measure to combat any range of illnesses, let us all continue to practice good hand hygiene, through washing and sanitizers. Thank you for your continued attention and cooperation in caring for each other. As always, please contact Fr. Derek or any Vestry member if you have questions. ✠ NEWS FROM THE WIDER CHURCH ✠ Bishop Ian's Farewell Celebration On Saturday, September 10th, an event celebrating Bishop Ian's 12 years of faithful service to the Episcopal Church in Connecticut will take place.
