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

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?

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.
