GSL administration is taking the necessary precautions associated with COVID-19 especially as we plan in conversation with our bishop, the Rt. Rev. Phoebe A. Roaf, and health officials for future in-person worship opportunities. Check out the Friday, May 15, statement and public service announcement video from the Memphis Clergy COVID-19 Response network that includes Bishop Phoebe. Our practice of safety and good health is a part of how we fulfill the commandment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. If you would like to serve on the GSL Re-Entry Team, email Senior Warden Simon Wadsworth (srcw at icloud.com ) or Junior Warden Charlie Pazar (pazar at aol.com ).
