Worship in Lent: Thursday Evenings at 6:30 pm

 

    A light meal (soup, salad and bread) will be offered in the Titus House immediately following Evening Prayer in the Sanctuary, with opportunity for friendship and conversation.  What does it mean to and receive welcome?  What can we learn from being hospitable and why is it risky?  In this five week study, I will help you to understand why hospitality is basic to our lives as Christians.

 Week 4:  Risking Justice

Sincerely,

 


Father Dr. Paul A. Elliott

Lenten Prayer 

 

O Lord, who hast mercy upon all,
take away from me my sins,
and mercifully kindle in me
the fire of thy Holy Spirit.
Take away from me the heart of stone,
and give me a heart of flesh,
a heart to love and adore Thee,
a heart to delight in Thee,
to follow and enjoy Thee, for Christ's sake, Amen

St. Ambrose of Milan (AD 339-397)

       ICS

 

The ICS annual fundraiser will be taking place on April 16th.The theme of the evening is the Japanese story of Sadoko and The Story of 1,000 Cranes. In this true story, Sadoko, a victim of cancer caused by the atom bomb's aftermath, tries to fold 1,000 orgami cranes in order to fulfill the legend that these 1,000 cranes will carry away her sickness. She was able to fold 600+ before she died. Friends and family completed the 1,000, all of which were buried with her remains. The students at ICS are folding 1,000 cranes to decorate the Carter Center for this fundraiser. If you happen to have any extra scrapbook paper or similar colored paper, please consider donating it to ICS care of Sue Gelting. Any decorative paper can be put in the ICS box at the church office and I will pick it up every week. Thank you for considering supporting this student project.
