Please Note - although we have been given guidelines from both our civil and religious authorities - guidelines from our Metropolitan are one priest, someone to chant, someone to help in the Holy Altar, a Parish Council Member and a few people. Our Mayor in Jackson and our Governor haved issued "shelter at home" orders and have limited gatherings to 10 people or less. At this time we are unable to have open services, we will be streaming the Liturgies live on our Holy Trinity Saint John the Theologian Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/269685419794311/
If you feel that you need to participate and receive Holy Communion please feel free to join us. Just let us know if you are coming. If you feel the need to come by to light a candle and pray during the week call and arrange this.
There will be limited access to the church proper - the door by the Church offices will be unlocked pleae use that one, the double doors to the Church proper will remain open. We ask that when you enter or leave please wash your hands in the appropriate rest rooms.
Please be remember that these directives will be reviewed by our Metropolitan and may be changed as needed. For those cannot join us our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. With Holy and Great Week about to begin, it will certainly be a different for us as our "church" life has been affected. We of course will continue to live stream our services at 5:30 pm and we will send out the text of each service so that you may follow along with us. We hope that this will unite us as we pray, will calm our souls and bring us closer to Christ. Stay well. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.
