Feed my sheep

 
Our rector sent us these images of the life of our church sanctuary during the pandemic. While the congregation cannot meet for services, the Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen continues to feed almost a thousand people a day from a tent in front of the church, as well as to provide "backpacks" with a weekend's supplies for poor children and their families. While the parish house allows preparation of hot lunches, the church allows assembly of care packages with social distancing!
In Mother Anna's words: The day when we can worship together again will be joyful indeed. Until that time, I include two images of our beautiful church responding to God’s call to us today. And keeping watch over these essential supplies? On one end, the banner declaring that no one shall be cast out of our church. On the other, the image of the resurrected Christ.
