Thursday Announcements for February 27th, 2020

FATHER MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS

LENT IS HERE!

​1) First, thanks to everyone who shopped, cooked, served, cleaned, or ate at     our Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Feed! It was a super fun and super delicious meal!
 
2) Second, thanks to everyone who served or attended one or both of our Ash Wednesday services yesterday. I was humbled and moved to be present with such a committed and faithful group of Christians as we remembered our failings and accepted God's forgiveness. Truly the beginning of a Holy Lent.
 
3) We will have two Lenten Programs this year, as follows:

• Sunday afternoons 1:00-5:00 P.M. (begins 3/1) "Walk the Labyrinth" The labyrinth will be set up in the Parish Hall for anyone who wishes to walk it. No instruction needed, simply come and walk and pray.

 

• Wednesday evenings 5:30-7:00 P.M. (begins 3/4) "The Passion Play of Oberammergau” We'll start with a soup supper and then head up to the church for Stations of the cross. Sign-up in narthex for soups.
