Early Move!

The Parish of SS. Mary & Jude will be moving to St. Mary's by the Sea this Sunday, May 21st (Rogation Sunday) and weather permitting we will process from the chapel to the stone church. We are still under much scaffolding, but have a more workable space than we did last summer, as restoration continues. The good news is that the Transfiguration window should be back in place by early July (the bell tower and bell are already back) and when the apse window comes out for repair, it will be replaced by plexiglass, not plywood! The early morning sun should stream in from the east. For the time being, the single service will be scheduled for 9:30 AM as it has been all winter. Until regular summer services begin, we are experimenting with a different arrangement of the 'cathedral chairs' in order to create a more intimate space. The communion table will be in the trancept since we do not have access to most of the chancel at this point. An active committee is exploring the possibilities to make worship amid scaffolding a positive experience both spiritually and visually. Senior warden (and organist) Peter Vaux can't wait to get his fingers on that keyboard again in a wonderfully acoustic space! Come join us for a Sunday.
