On Sunday afternoon, February 17 at 4 o'clock, the Wilma Ruth Combs Chapter of the Union of Black Episcopalians and the Diocese of Ohio will host this year's Absalom Jones service at Christ Church, Shaker Heights. Bishop Williams will be the celebrant and the Rev. Sharon Williams, Priest-in-Charge at Historic St. Andrew’s, Cleveland, will preach. I write to encourage you to attend this service and to remember Absalom Jones in your prayers on his feast day, February 13, and in your parishes on February 17.
