News for the Week of March 18, 2012
Dear Friends,

 

A special mid-week reminder about our upcoming Lenten Quiet Day this Saturday, March 24, from 9a-2p. If you haven't already done so, please RSVP to Kathleen O'Donoghue today - her contact info is in the blurb below. We hope many of you will be able to join us for this quiet retreat from all the noise in our busy lives. 

 

AND... a special weather advisory! If you were thinking it is entirely too warm to be eating soup tonight, we agree! Come tonight at 6:00 to Eat. Pray. Lent. and share in a simple SALAD supper! Please let Kathy know if you can come so she'll have the right amount of food for the evening. Contemplative Prayer continues from 6:30-7:00, then Inquirers' Class and EFM at 7:00. (NO choir tonight)

 

Lots going on around here, lots to take part in. We welcome everyone to join us! Child care is available!

 

All the best,

Bonnie 

Lenten Quiet Day
 

Please join us on Saturday, March 24 from 9a-2p for a time of quiet, prayer and inspiration from the traditions of Celtic Spirituality. We need to ask folks to RSVP for this day so we can prepare materials and our lunch plan. 

 

Are you planning to join us? Please plan to bring a picture or an object that evokes a particularly strong memory of a place that holds personal significance to you. We'll also ask you to bring an item for our lunch. 

 

Please let Kathy O'Donoghue know if you'll be joining us at kmeod713@mac.com or (773) 677-6913.

 

Beannachtaí a thabhairt duit!

Eat. Pray. Lent.
Wednesday evenings: Soup and Prayer, 6pm

 

Join us on Wednesday evenings now thru April 4 for a simple soup supper and a time of contemplative prayer. We'll eat together at 6:00 and then move to the church at 7:00 for a half hour of prayer and silent meditation, utilizing Celtic prayers from the Iona Community. 

 

We'll be done by 7:30 for those heading to choir practice or EFM. Please feel free to join us on any or all of these evenings. If you are able to RSVP, we would be very appreciative! Joining us? Questions? Contact Kathy O'Donoghue at kmeod713@mac.com. 

Inquirer's Class
Where all your questions are answered.

On Wednesday, March 21, 28, & April 4, Bonnie will be leading an inquirer's class geared for people who may be new to All Saints, the Episcopal Church or Christianity.  We'll cover such topics as "How does Henry the VIII fit into our church?" What is sin? and "A Newcomer's guide to our Sunday morning worship service".  

 

We'll meet from 7 to 8:30, and if you'd like you can crash the Wednesday night supper group and avoid having your stomach rumble just as we are discussing the pros and cons of transubstantiation!  (Don't know what transubstantiation is--you are not alone!)  This will be an informal time to take in some theology, history and spirituality and find out a bit more about this quirky place here on the corner of Hermitage and Wilson.
