The “Winter Blahs Yard sale” is scheduled for Saturday, March 6th from 8 am to 4 pm. Volunteers are needed to set up in the evening March 5th to price all the items. We are looking for donations of household goods, jewelry, books, etc. in good condition please. See Peter to volunteer, to make arrangements for the drop-off of goods, or to get help dropping off items.
Our “Helping Hands Circle” will be selling beautiful, hand-made Anglican prayer beads next Sunday during coffee hour. Don’t miss this opportunity to buy a set of beads for yourself, or as a gift for someone else. The information on how to “pray” the beads will also be included with each set. The beads will be blessed by Pastor Janice during the service of Holy Eucharist.
Last year we provided an opportunity to observe Lent more prayerfully by facilitating a candle light service of Lenten prayers and Taize hymns. The services were so popular that we have decided to offer them again this year Wednesday evenings in Lent from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
If you didn’t have the chance to participate in these brief services last year, make it a practice for yourself this year. It is a wonderful way to achieve some quiet, meditative time during the holy season of Lent.
Beginning Sunday, February 21st, and continuing each Sunday during Lent, we are pleased to offer a Christian formation program for adults entitled, “Jesus and the Gospels.”
The program is comprised of several thirty minute video presentations by Professor Luke Timothy Johnson of Emory University. Dr. Johnson is a former Benedictine monk, and a well known author, lecturer and professor of theology.
While Pastor Janice spends time with the young people in our Youth Group, parishioner Bill Dennehy has graciously agreed to facilitate our Lenten program this year. Most of us know Bill to be well read in Scripture and theology, and he received training as a catechist several years ago. Bill has reviewed the videos in advance, and will be presenting them, as well as facilitating the discussions following each one.
As we have done in the past, our program will run from noon to 1:30 p.m., with lunch included. There will be sign-up sheets in the back of the church each week so that we know how many people to expect.
This video series is excellent, and Dr. Johnson is an engaging and animated speaker. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about Jesus and the Gospels.
