Letter from Elizabeth Eckhardt and Vincent Dipentino

Tom Subranni forwarded another kind letter of love and support. (This one is from Elizabeth Eckhardt and Vincent Dipentino.) The "physical place" echoes the opening hymn video from last week that Margaret Holmes has linked to.... "We are the Church, Together."

Safe travels.

Tom:

Elizabeth and I are so very saddened to know of the tragic loss of the physical building, the Church of the R...edeemer. We are absolutely shocked, just flabbergasted at the news.

Our prayers, and the prayers of our Philadelphia Congregation – St. Peters Episcopal Church – are with you and the other most committed members, and faithful visitors of the Church of The Redeemer.

Interestingly, we too find ourselves without a “physical place” to worship as a result of building structural concerns, and the closing of our St Peters Church built more than 250 years ago in Society Hill, Phila…we are reminded that we worship as a congregation…where ever we can, and we will find Gods presence.

Elizabeth and will be in Colorado tomorrow, and will pray for God’s grace for the Church of the Redeemer, for St Peters Church and for all the faithful.

Thank you Tom and your brother Bob and all those so vitally important to the Church of The Redeemer for all that you do.

With warm personal regards, and our heartfelt prayers, we remain,

Very truly yours,

Vincent and Elizabeth
