The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania has issued new guidance to churches pertaining to the live-streaming of services. As a result, beginning this week Sunday services will be offered via Zoom, the platform we recently used for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services.

The start time of the Sunday service will also be changing to 9:30 a.m.

The benefit of Zoom is that you can see other participants in addition to the person leading the service, and other participants may lead certain parts of the service (readings, prayers, etc) or provide music. Participants may join the service either using their web browser or by downloading the Zoom software to a computer, smartphone or tablet. Those without access to high-speed internet may call in using a cell or landline phone.

Additional details are available here. If you need assistance connecting via Zoom, please let us know and we’ll do our best to help.

Join us Sunday, April 19 @ 9:30 a.m. on Zoom:
