We’ve changed our domain name!

Sometime last summer, our website domain, rosebudepiscopalmission.org was purchased by someone else (a gambling joint in India, to be honest). It has taken us a while, but we figured out how to get back into this web site, and we’ve changed our domain name!

We are now rosebudepiscopalmissionsd.org.

See the difference?

No?

That’s OK, because it might be hard to notice.

We’ve added “sd” – as in, South Dakota – to the website url.

So if you use the old domain name, you can, apparently, gamble in India.

If you want to find us – which you must, because you are reading this – put the “sd” at the end, and you can see us!

Welcome back!

We promise to try to keep this updated, to get the calendar back, and to post articles and updates from the Rosebud Episcopal Mission as often as we can.

Blessings and thanks,

Mother Lauren+

Canon to the Ordinary, Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota

#GetYourAshOn

It’s #AshWednesday! Beginning at 10 a.m., Mother Lauren will be doing #AshesOnTheGo, bringing the ashes and prayers to you! And she will offer #AshesToGo as well! She will take full COVID precautions, including wearing a mask, a face shield, and gloves, which she will change after imposing ashes for each person. Instead of going INTO buildings, Mother Lauren will be outside, so that people can come out one at a time and socially distance. She will call to each house/office when she arrives to let people know, and will offer ashes either by imposition (she draws the sign of the cross on your forehead) or by giving you ashes in a plastic baggie like the one pictured below to take home for you to impose your own ashes (which is pretty powerful). #AshesInChurch will take place at 7 p.m. at the Bishop Jones Building, Mission. Wear your mask, and we will practice the same precautions there as well. Call Mother Lauren if you would like to receive ashes and prayers (605-828-3892). #GetYourAshOn

#AshesToGo

A very different Christmas …

2020 has been so very different – and hard – for all of us, and Christmas will be as well. We will not be having in-person worship on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, because we want to keep everyone safe.

But we will celebrate Christmas! We will celebrate anew the coming of the Christ Child. So please join us at one of the churches on Christmas Eve to receive Christmas Communion and prayers. Wear your masks, stay in your cars, and celebrate with us!
