Please join for worship this Sunday at 8:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. Children's Chapel takes place during the first half of the 10:30 a.m. service. Lectionary Bible Study meets in the Youth Room at 9:30 a.m.
Adult Lenten Study: Embracing An Alternative Orthodoxy. Especially with a new pope who takes his name after Saint Francis of Assisi, there is a renewed interest in Franciscan spirituality. Based on video teachings by acclaimed author Fr. Richard Rohr, and with discussion facilitated by our Rector, we will explore what makes Franciscan spirituality so unique and special. Participants should be prepared to have some traditional religious ideas stretched, and may find such stretching unsettling. With this said, however, Lent is the perfect time for stretching our religious imaginations and thereby receiving the resulting growth that accompanies such endeavors. The offering will begin on Sunday, March 1st and continue meeting weekly for a total of four classes, the last class being held on March 22nd. Participants need not attend each class; however, the more one attends, the fuller the learning experience. Each gathering will begin following the 10:30 a.m. service (approximately 11:45 am) and will last one hour. No registration needed.
The Annual Meeting of the Parish will be held this Sunday, February 22nd, immediately following the 10:30 a.m. service. Please make every effort to attend as an important financial update will be shared with those present. Also during the meeting, we will elect three persons to serve on the Vestry. Three persons have submitted their names for nomination. Jeff Haas is running for the position of Vestry Leader for Financial Stewardship. John Syme is running for the position of Vestry Leader for Worship Support. Jan Krumel is running for the position of Vestry Leader for Parish Life. Click on the candidate's name to read their bio. The deadline for submitting additional nominations has passed and no further nominations will be accepted.
The Youth will hold a Yard Sale on Saturday, March 14th. Please save items you no longer need and consider donating to the sale.
