Weekly Announcements, June 10, 2021
Mask Requirement Lifted
Starting with the June 13 worship service, ECOE is lifting its mandatory mask requirement for worship attendees. If you are fully vaccinated, you may attend worship without a mask. Per the CDC guidelines, if you are not fully vaccinated, you are still at risk for contracting the virus. Masks and social distancing are voluntary but highly recommended in those cases, for your own safety as well as the safety of those who are not able to receive the vaccine, such as children. If you are not fully vaccinated and need additional space for social distancing, please speak to an usher. Singing is permitted by all attendees.
Front Porch Fellowship
To welcome our new interim Priest-in-charge Rev. Bob Blackwell and his wife Kay, we will hold a Front Porch Fellowship after the worship service on June 20th. Please consider bringing a pandemic-safe dish to share, such as individually wrapped items, single-servings on plates or in cups, or hors d'oeuvres on toothpicks. We seek to reduce the use of communal cutlery and/or touching of foods. Let's provide a warm welcome!

The Mission Council is pleased to announce that we have retained an Interim Priest in Charge for the Episcopal Church on Edisto for the coming year! The Rev. Robert “Bob” Blackwell will start with us on June 14. He and his wife, Kay, come to us from Alabama, where he currently serves at Holy Trinity Church in Auburn. Our church has arranged to lease a home for them to live on Edisto Beach. They will be a vital part of our church and local community, and we are looking forward to welcoming them next month!
The Rev. Robert (Bob) Blackwell was born and raised in Decatur, Alabama, where he married his childhood sweetheart “Kay”. They have been married for 43 years, and have 3 married children and 6 grand-children. Bob is a 1978 graduate of Auburn University and earned his M.Div. at Nashotah Theological Seminary. He has served as a parish priest in the Diocese of Alabama for the past 37 years, as well as being a missionary in Damascus, Syria where he served All Saints Episcopal Church for the Diocese of Jerusalem. After retirement, 7 years ago, he has served as Interim Rector at Christ Episcopal Church, Fairfield, AL and Christ Church, Pensacola, FL. He is also enjoying time with his grandchildren, traveling, fishing and eating out! Bob and Kay have made their home in Cullman, Alabama, but have also loved re-settling in Auburn to work part time at Holy Trinity with a focused ministry in pastoral care.
