Saint Matthew's Worships Together on Easter Sunday
|
For the first time since Sunday March 8, 2020 the community of Saint Matthew's in Worcester gathered to worship together on the great Sunday of Resurrection, April 4, 2021.
Parishioners drove into the church parking lot, which was rendered sparkling clean for springtime a day earlier, parked and either remained in their vehicle or sat near it for the celebration of Christ's rising from the dead. All generations were represented, and there was music thanks to the talent native to the parish (or related to someone here!). Choir Director Don Irving provided skillful accompaniment. The gathering was blessed with bright sunshine and the exuberance of the occasional passing motorcycle, lending its own sounds to those celebrating new life in Christ. Father John McGinty spoke on the brightness of life coming forth from a time of death - 2000 years ago and now - in this 'world in the midst of rescue.' |
