Get on the Bus!

Very, very early in the morning on May 3, Father Cooper & members of our vestry met with children of incarcerated parents in our own church parking lot. They provided food, water, & prayer for participants in the Get on the Bus program, which takes kids (& spouses) of inmates up to visit their moms & dads in prison.

Some of these children hadn’t seen their parent in over five years, as the journey to Susanville is long and expensive for them. Get on the Bus provides the transportation, which is in turn paid for by generous donations.

Thanks especially to Jennifer & Pat for assisting in this service to children & their families.

Hear Him

Jesus said:
“My sheep hear my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
No one can take them out of my hand.”
John 10:27-28

Father Cooper asked on Good Shepherd Sunday how we hear Jesus in our own lives. Some of us hear him through the homilies and through prayer, and even the words of our families and friends.


Father suggested that if we want to hear Jesus more fully, we challenge ourselves to read scripture every day. An easy way to do this is to check out the daily readings in the lectionary, which can be found for free here.

How much closer can you be to Christ if you take up this practice for the rest of Easter?

Nickey Sawyer caught a bit of the opening chant to our adoration before the Altar of Repose. This beautiful tradition starts with our priests kneeling and sitting before the altar, with the parishioners joining their voices, leading into the night long adoration.
