Special Music and Workshops March 17th
| |
Sunday March 17th will be a special day at All Saints parish...and not just for the Irish. On that day we will be joined at the 10:00 am service by Sayon Camara, an African drummer. Sayon, who is from Guinea, is an extremely talented djembefola with an intimate knowledge of the music for all the drums of the Malinke culture. He has led a number of drumming workshops in our undercroft. 
Sayon and some of his students will offer the music for the prelude and postludes, four pieces during the service, and will accompany some of the hymns. They will also lead a workshop on African drumming open to the entire Wolfeboro community from 12:30 to 4:00 pm. The day will be capped off by a concert that evening from 5:00 to 6:30 pm in our sanctuary where Sayon will be joined by many of his students and compatriots.
Please mark your calendars, get the word out to your friends and neighbors. Plan to join us. For further information see: http://sayoncamaradrumming.com/

Lenten Season Events & Activities
| |
Evening Prayer Weekday Evenings in Lent
Daily thru March 22nd, 5:15 p.m.
Evening Prayer was one of the new services designed and published in the first Anglican Prayer Book. Archbishop Thomas Cranmer (1489-1546) took ancient monastic services and combined them to form Morning and Evening Prayer services. Each parish church received a bible and the clergy were required to lead these services in a language the people could understand reading through the whole of the Old and New Testament each year. It is a service of the Word, the biblical Word, giving the people a chance to hear, be inspired, led, understand the bible for themselves without Church directed interpretation.
Lenten Suppers and Study
Monday evenings during Lent at 6:00 p.m.(soup and sandwich)
6:30 p.m. (study) beginning Monday February 25th, undercroft.
The themes of Lent: prayer, penitence, fasting and the giving of alms are, to some large degree, foreign to our culture so many Episcopal parishes set time aside during Lent for the exploration and experiencing of them. A "lite supper" - soup and bread, cheese and fruit are ways of experiencing fasting. Study and discussion gives us a chance to explore these themes so unfamiliar to contemporary parlance. The Rev Rob Hirschfeld, our new Bishop, has asked those preparing for the annual retreat of the Commission on Ministry to read, The Mystic Way of Evangelism. Though most Episcopalians are into neither mysticism nor evangelism, this is an excellent book and the subjects are very important to our new Bishop who will be visiting and leading our parish for worship on Palm Sunday, March 24th, 2013. The book also lays out one way Episcopal parishes, members and leaders can go about discovering a new and powerful way to be Church in the future. Since none of us know the future into which we are moving but do know that there is a keen interest in spirituality, meditation and service on the part of many who are not yet members of our parishes, we thought that studying this book would be a good way to prepare for the Bishop's visit, get to know something about core issues to him and traditional Lenten themes, we hope you will join us for these discussions. Presentations summarizing the book will make it easier for those not able to read it to be part of our explorations. Please volunteer to make a pot of soup for one of the suppers if you can. All are asked to bring bread or cheese or fruit to share which makes it easier for those coming straight from work to participate. If you prefer to have a sandwich - the All Saints' tradition, bring one.
