As part of a deep and meaningful Lenten journey, Bishop Claire Burkat invites you to our Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod Chrism Service.
The Chrism Service is a time for
pastors, associates in ministry, deaconesses, and diaconal ministers to revisit
and renew promises made at ordination/commissioning/consecration, and blessings
for congregational deacons to honor their local ministries. It's also a
time to worship our Lord and be strengthened and renewed as we prepare to lead
the faithful to the Cross and Resurrection.
This year we will gather at St.
Paul's, Olney, on March 30, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
Whether or not your congregation has the practice of anointing with oil, please
join us in this holy time together. Oil used at baptism ("chrism"), anointing
the sick, and signing those preparing for baptism and other blessings will be
set aside for use in our congregations through the year. If you would
like to take some of the oil back to your congregation, please bring small
containers with you. Following the service we will enjoy a time of light
refreshment and conversation. Your family members, friends, and leaders
of your congregations are also welcome to attend and join us as we renew our
vows.
Let us worship together on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 10:00 a.m. at St.
Paul Lutheran Church, located at the corner of Fifth Street and Nedro Avenue in
Olney.
