From Rev. Amy: Email scammers are "spoofing" my address again. Several parishioners have reported receiving messages purporting to come from me, asking for gift cards to support a cause. THIS IS A SCAM, and intended to get you to give the scammer your money. I will never make that kind of request, so if you get one of these emails, mark it as spam and delete it.

If you're in doubt about any email you receive, check the sender's address. The giveaway that it's a scam is that it'll have misspellings or a couple of letters different from the actual address it's claiming to be.

We join many across the world in sending our deepest condolences to our Roman Catholic siblings on the death of Pope Francis. We give thanks for his humility and witness to God’s solidarity with the poor which inspired so many in this branch of Christ’s Church.

O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of your servant Francis, and grant him an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
