Lenten Opportunities
We have several opportunities for you to express your devotion to our Lord and grow your spiritual life during the season of Lent. Any of the following would be a meaningful addition to your Lenten discipline:
Picnic in the Pews on Thursdays at noon provides a mid-week opportunity to participate in the Holy Eucharist and afterwards enjoy the fellowship of others with the light lunch.
Wednesday Holy Eucharist at 5:30 p.m.
Evening Prayer on Monday and Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
Sunday School Class on The 5 Marks of Love at 9:15 a.m.
Please pick up a Hope Chest box to be filled with money for Episcopal Relief & Development at the back of the church.
Finally, you are welcome to meet with me to make your personal confession.
Blessings, Fr. Ray +
