Announcements for March 13
- Spring Forward: Daylight Saving Time Begins
Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday morning, March 13. Remember to set your clocks forward one hour.
- Materials for Lent
An updated version of “Lent for Dummies” is available on the information tables. Copies of this year’s Lenten meditations from Episcopal Relief and Development are also available.
- Lenten Study Series
Again this year Pastor Orr will offer a Lenten study series on Wednesday evenings. A handout with information is available in the undercroft. The class will address some of the big topics in Christian theology: The Historical Jesus, Baptism—Jesus’ and Ours, Miracles, The Last Supper/The First Eucharist, and Why Did Jesus Die? As a starting point, we will draw upon Dorothy Sayers’ plays on the life of Jesus: The Man Born to Be King. No soup this year. Just come for class in the church Wednesday evenings from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. The first class meets this Wednesday, March 16.
- Shrove Tuesday Pancake Recap
Thank you to chefs Geoff Eysenbach, Margi Strombeck, Ted Stone and Bill Bestow and servers Nia Green and friends. And thanks to all of the children who made TWO fabulous A******* banners and “buried” them—to remain hidden throughout Lent. It was a fun event, great fellowship and raised $180 to help support PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter).
- Lenten Fish Fry April 1
Mark your calendars. The master fryers of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will offer a traditional fish fry Friday evening, April. More details to follow.
