New Haven parish to worship on Facebook due to winter weather

In New Haven, the winter weather has resulted in a travel ban, so the parish of St Paul and St James will gather on Facebook instead.

The congregation at the Episcopal Church of St. Paul and St. James may be scattered on Sunday, but they’ll still be able to worship together.

Services have been canceled, but the Rev. Alex Dyer, priest-in-charge, will hold “virtual church” on the parish’s Facebook page.

“It’s always a tough decision to cancel church,” but with a travel ban still in effect, “We want to get the word out early and we want people to stay safe.” Dyer said the decision was made after consulting with lay leadership.

The service will begin at 10:30 a.m. at www.facebook.com/stpaulstjames.
