O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Please send prayer requests to spcvtprayers@gmail.com
Making a Prayer Request - Requests for prayer should be emailed to spcvtprayers@gmail.com. This way both Jenny and Paula can keep track of requests and make sure they are added to the announcements prayer list. CONFIDENTIAL prayer requests should be emailed to Paula Stevens at paulajstevens@aol.com or call her at 802 296-3123. Confidential requests will be shared with the prayer ministry members only.
April 26 - The CARJ group will meet via Zoom after Morning Prayer on Sunday morning, April 26th. If you're already logged on for worship you can just stay. Otherwise, use the same link that Scott sends out for Sunday worship and log in around 11:15. This time we'll be discussing THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas. We'll also talk about the impact of Covid on the black community and check in with each other. Please join us even if you haven't read the book. These days, staying connected is more important than it's ever been.
A request - We received a request from Michael Redmond asking if The Haven could place their dumpsters in the far corner of our parking lot tucked up by the hillside near them. This will allow them to expand their tent space and food distribution area. Don’t be surprised by this change. I believe it is an extension of our Shelter Ministry and part of our response to the CoVid-19 in the larger community. Thank you - Scott
