Good morning. ✨ Even through clouds, light is pouring through our Garden of Eden #stainedglass window, designed & given in gratitude for and in honor of our strong Syrian-American heritage here at Christ Church. (Eden is thought to be near Damascus, Syria.) Take in the beauty. Trust in goodness. Know that you are not alone. #church #historicchurch #historicdetroit #downtowndetroit #beauty #prayer #art #covid19

Remember: For the safety and health of all, group gatherings, including public worship services, are suspended through the end of March. Emily our priest and members of the staff are available for communication. Jump on Facebook Live at 10:30am today for a brief service and reflection. Although it deeply pains us not to gather in person today, we remember - now as ever - that we are never truly alone. #covid19 #churchesofdetroit #detroitchurches #episcopalchurch @episcopalmichigan

Hope. Daffodils are daring to burst up from beneath the earth—right beside, even, a monument to another Detroit church (St Andrew’s) that painfully had to close its doors permanently several decades ago. Remember that we’re all in this together. Remember, when things are most difficult, that they will not always be as hard. Remember that death, pain, and fear are not forever. Remember that good, new life awaits us all, even when we can’t see it. Hope. #spring #flowers #daffodils #churchflowers #flowerchurch #historicchurch #historicdetroit #downtowndetroit #churchesofdetroit #detroitchurches #churcharchitecture #pewabic #episcopal #episcopalchurch #covid19 #covid19michigan #detcovid19response @episcopalmichigan

To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, our public worship and group activities are suspended through the end of March. Our priest, Emily, is available for individual prayer and conversation. Each Sunday 8:00-10:30am the church will be open for private prayer, and at 10:30am our clergy will offer a brief service on Facebook Live. We’re here for you, now and always, Detroit. ❤️ Be well, and love your neighbor as yourself. #detroit #downtowndetroit #churchesofdetroit #detroitchurches #historicdetroit #historicchurch #episcopalchurch #episcopalchurchwelcomesyou

Our friends from @blessing_box_detroit stopped by

Our friends from @blessing_box_detroit stopped by today to discuss next steps for a #blessingbox right here at Christ Church! A blessing box is a tall cabinet installed outdoors, into which anyone can place pantry food or hygiene items, and from which anyone can take what they need. “Take what you need, give what you can.” #neighborshelpingneighbors #love #care #interfaith #detroit #downtowndetroit

Serpent (and bunny, and lion) from our Garden of Eden window. 🐍🐰🦁 Happy First Sunday of Lent! #stainedglass #stainedglassart #stainedglasswindow #modernstainedglass #light #window #reflection #beauty #art #gardenofeden #genesis #adamandeve #scripture #biblicalart #historicchurch #historicdetroit

The #floraliconography by @richardthomas1365 for tomorrow, the First Sunday of Lent, featuring a snake gourd to represent the serpent in the Garden of Eden (we’ll hear that story tomorrow). While we Episcopalians are not snake handlers, we do gourds! And while we customarily refrain from flowers during the penitential season of Lent, we do play with greens 🌱! This #iconography beckons us deeper into an ancient story that is at once, in Richard’s words, “deceptively simple and devilishly complicated”.
Flora: dried ornamental snake gourds, fern, Lemon and Ti leaves, dried Protea, sticks.
