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 this 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.
Please pray for our Vestry as they retreat to Kanuga to assimilate the new members and profit from the knowledge of those who are rolling off. Please also pray for them as they consider our governing documents, mission and vision, financial matters, outreach, and our desire for intentional God-centeredness.
