We here at St. Edward's want
to welcome all people to join us at the Lord's Table. We teach scripture as it was written remaining true to the Gospel.
This is an amazing parish that has survived so many challenges and continues to be a warm retreat for those seeking
the wonder and grace of our Lord. All are welcome to join us and will be warmly received. The people of St. Edward's
work as a family in providing an amazing sanctuary for Christians of all ages and backgrounds. Our regular services
on Sunday are complemented by a Healing Service on Wednesday at noon. We are a family-oriented church with many ministries
for all.
We all
are on a journey, beginning with birth and from that time forward we become architects of our own future. As we journey
we sometime find ourselves separated from the Father and like a small child, at first rejoice in our new found freedom only
to soon feel the desperate sense of loneliness and abandonment. Paul tells us we are "tent people" living
a temporary existence. Above the lintel of each church door should read, "Come to me, all you who labor and are
overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and
you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light." Matthew 11:28-30
A plaque at the Statue of Liberty quotes Emma Lazarus' famous
poem; "Give me your tired, your poor, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...I lift a lamp beside
the golden door." Let those who hunger for God's word and are poor in spirit, and yearn to be spiritually free
come to St. Edward's, the "Light of Christ" is always lit.
