Spring Confirmations and Intro the Episcopal Church Class
Would you like to explore being confirmed in the Episcopal Church? If you are baptized, but were never confirmed in any Christian church, but would like to make a mature profession of faith before the Bishop, please speak with Rev’d Jennifer to explore preparation for this sacramental rite. Bishop Julia will be hosting a regional confirmation at Christ Church, Plymouth on May 17 at 4 p.m. In preparation, the Rector will be offering a 3-part series on Sundays April 19, 26, and May 3 for newcomers, those curious about the Episcopal Church, and anyone wanting to refresh their knowledge of our denomination, the Book of Common Prayer, and Episcopal liturgy.
Letter from Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe on Military Strike on Iran
Dear people of God in The Episcopal Church: Here in the United States, we awoke this morning (Saturday, February 28, 2026) with alarm to the news that the United States and Israel have launched a large military strike on Iran. This violent attack comes despite weeks of negotiations that many of us had hoped would prevent armed conflict in this fragile region, which is home to so many religious traditions and faithful people.

The Great Three Days: 2026 Lenten Formation Series
Explore the mystery and drama of the Holy Week liturgies including Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and (new to us in 2026!) the Easter Vigil. These observances bring us fully into the story of our Lord’s death and resurrection. They draw on some of the most ancient liturgies in the Christian church and are packed with meaning for our current lives. Participating in this series and then experiencing the entire “Triduum” will deepen your faith.
Each Thursday will feature the same structure of 4 p.m. class, 5 p.m. Evening Prayer (or simple Evensong) and 6 p.m. potluck supper.
Feb 26 – Introduction & Maundy Thursday
March 5 – Good Friday
March 12 – Easter Vigil (part 1)
March 19 – Easter Vigil (part 2)
If you are attending, please bring a dish to share so we can enjoy a simple meal after our time of learning and prayer. Each class will stand alone, so don’t worry if you need to miss one.
