Alleluia, it's still Eastertide! Tomorrow we'll be at Christ Church, beginning at 10:00 AM.

Come consider one of Jesus' great I AM statements, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" -- which bears profound meaning for people of all or no faith tradition. The words inspired the beautiful poem below by George Herbert, a 17th century priest, pastor, and poet, set to a hymn tune by the 20th century English composer Ralph Vaughn Williams.

Come as you are and discover a Way of love, kindness, welcome, justice, and belonging!

"Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life" was written by George Herbert and published after his death in 1633.The tune is, 'The Call' written by Ralph Vaughan Willia...

Dear ones in wider Red Hook,
If you are friends with Helen's family, especially her children Kevin, Kim, and Angèle, you are welcome to join us this morning for Helen's Committal to her resting place, in a brief graveside liturgy at 11 AM.
This will be at St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery, on a beautiful day to walk among the ancestors. When you enter the cemetery from South Broadway, stay to the right of the driveway and follow the road up a little; look for a headstone on the end of a row in section 19 that says "Saylor"
Once you see that headstone, walk down the row with it to your right, and Helen's stone will be there. You'll see the gathering and a priest.

Helen Marie (C**n) Daniels, of Hudson, died on March 1, 2026, at Evergreen Commons Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.

We express our gratitude to, and send forth with blessings, two parishioners, Dave and Dennis, who will spend this Saturday in Washington, DC as part of the US Government's Honor Flight program, honoring American veterans for their active military service and personal sacrifice.

May their day visiting the memorials and receiving the recognition due to them be meaningful, and may God guard their travel there and speed them safely home to us.

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and
keeping all the men and women of the US armed forces at home
and abroad. Defend them day by day with your heavenly
grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give
them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant
them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be;
through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
