The Gala benefits Episcopal Community Services.  Tickets are available by contacting Richard Witt (822-9769) before April 9.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper returns!
front of church

We will once again be holding our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, on Tuesday, February 16, from 5-7 p.m.  Sign up on the poster in the parish hall, so that we know how many to cook for.  Bring your appetite!
Ash Wednesday services

Ash Wednesday services will be held on Wednesday, February 17, at 12:00 noon and 7:00 pm.
Lent 2010 at St. Paul's

Saturday Evening Services
- We will be offering Saturday evening Eucharist in the parish hall at 5:30 on the Saturdays in Lent.  These will be multi-media services - they will use a combination of pictures, music and text projected on a screen.  The services will have different flavors:
February 20 will be a U2Charist - a Eucharist using the music of U2 and focusing on the Millennium Development Goals and the effort to end poverty in our life-time.
February 27, March 6, 13, 20 & 27 will be more meditative services using a prayer from the earliest celebrations of the Eucharist that bless not only bread and wine, but cheese and olives and other food.
These are very different than traditional Eucharists- but come and check them out - maybe you'll see God in new ways.
 
Thursday Evening Lenten Series  - We will be having a Lent Education series on Thursday evening - the topic this year will be God and Money - we will explore what God says about money and how our faith impacts our decisions about money.
 
The schedule for February 25, March 4, 11, & 18 is:
6:00 - 6:45 Potluck dinner - stop by KFC or the deli on your way home.
6:45 - 7:30 - Presentation & discussion
(and since you're already here you should stay and join the choir for practice)  On March 25 we will have a public forum on financial and life planning for the elderly including issues of Medicare, Long term care insurance, estate planning and planned giving.
 
Meditation Calendar -  for use at home by individuals and families, for each week there is a reading and for each day a question and an activity - the activity will lead to the collection of some funds for a charitable contribution - this year that will be given to for the refugee family our deanery is adopting.  Pick up your calendar in the parish hall.
 
Whatever you do for Lent, try to find some time to add to your prayer and spiritual life.
