    See my scars. Touch my wounds.

    On April 18, 2021, Rev. Andrew Suitter-Bentley preached about what it means to live in community, to bear each other's wounds as Christ did. "Don't change the channel. Don't press the mute button. Open yourself up to be changed by [those who suffer]." Listen for a reading of the Gospel by Rev. Dn. Annette Molnar, followed by Rev. Suitter-Bentley's sermon.

    Finding your gifts while serving others

    Sometimes our greatest gifts awaken through service of others.  Since 1964, Betsy Wallingford has been discovering hers at St.E’s.    From helping in the church nursery as a young mother of three boys, to recently coordinating coffee hour and the annual Dickens Christmas Dinner, Betsy treasures her spiritual home.  Today she adorns the sanctuary alongside the flower guild, and is honored to be a Eucharistic Minister. “A lot of people have talent they don’t know they have until they’re asked to present it,” Betsy says. “You find within yourself the ability to do something you didn’t know you could do. And that’s a real gift.” Learn more about St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church in Sudbury, Massachusetts, including online services.

    Stations of the Cross

    The Stations of the Cross is an old church custom that helps us remember and retrace the steps of Jesus that led him to the cross. This devotion is often done in Lent, and especially during Holy Week. The liturgy can be done from home, on a walk, or anywhere you would like; and nothing else is needed to follow along. May it be for you a beautiful devotion to draw you closer to our Lord. The liturgy is led by Parker Suitter-Bentley.
