The Bishop prepares to bless the congregation at the conclusion of the Eucharist.
Bishop Robinson visits Holy Cross. Every two years the Bishop of New Hampshire visits each congregation in his diocese. It’s a time for him to experience the life of the local congregation, to meet with its leaders and visit with parishioners, and a time for the congregation to ask questions and learn about what’s going on at the diocesan and wider Church level. Bishop Robinson was with us at Holy Cross for a wonderful celebration on Sunday, February 7. He talked informally after breakfast, presided and preached at the Eucharist, and met with the Vestry over lunch.
Banners behind the Altar proclaim the "fish for people" theme of the gospel.
The Worship Space is decorated for “catching people” gospel. In the gospel reading for Sunday (Luke 5:1-11), Jesus tells his fishermen disciples that ”from now on you will be catching people,” and tells them to “put out into the deep” and not to be afraid. Reflecting this message, on which the Bishop preached, the Worship Space was decorated with a beautiful quilted fish banner made by Nancy Stehno, paper Japanese fish kites made by the children, and a huge fish kite that led the procession at the beginning and end of worship. Music included “Amazing Grace” played on the bagpipes by Scott Arvin. A photo album of the day is available under “Happenings Now.”
