Ash Wednesday Services on March 5th
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, and we gather to worship God and, in the words of the liturgy, to dedicate ourselves, in the words of the Prayer Book, “to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denail, and meditating on God’s holy Word. There will be two services that day, with the imposition of ashes at both services for those who wish.
4 pm: A service designed especially for children and families, to introduce them to the season of Lent
7 pm: Holy Eucharist with the imposition of ashes.
Pancakes, and More, for Shrove Tuesday
Come for delicious pancakes, and even some crepes with a variety of fillings, on Tuesday March 4, starting at 6 pm. Steve Spinetto will head up our kitchen crew. There will be good food, a fun trivia quiz, and maybe some other surprises. Invite your friends, and come for a celebration before Lent begins.
Annual Meeting
Parishioners gathered last Sunday after church for our annual meeting. Among the highlights were welcoming Sarah Simeone as a new member of the parish. As is our tradition, she signed the Parish Register at the beginning of the meeting. Outgoing vestry members Ken Stone, Matt Hast, and Adrienne Sweetser were thanked for their service, and Bridget Nyhan was elected as a new member of the vestry. We recognized and gave thanks for all the many ministries of the past year, and adopted the budget for 2014. You can pick up copies of the annual report at church, and you can also access it here:
