[Drum roll, please.] Next Thursday, March 16, a separate eblast will be sent out which will include a letter of introduction from St Michael & All Angels’ new rector. I believe the plan is to notify both the St Michael’s congregation and the new rector’s current congregation at the same time.
Yesterday, we had the first meeting of the Lenten book group that is discussing Bishop Emma Ineson’s Failure: What Jesus said about Sin, Mistakes, and Messing Stuff Up. When I started out in parish ministry, there was no internet or email, Google or Facebook. Bp Ineson reminds her readers that, “God may take your sins and misdemeanours and put them in the deepest sea, but anyone with a search engine can fish them out again and serve them to you for breakfast.”
Our special Lenten musical offering this year is a prayer service held each Wednesday in March in the Chancel area, in place of our lay-led Evening Prayer which will resume in April. We will start each Wednesday evening in the Parish Hall with a simple soup-and-bread supper available from 5:30 to 6:00 pm on March 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29, followed by Holden Evening Prayer at 6:15 pm in the church.
Shrove Tuesday is on February 21! We’re looking forward to enjoying a delicious pancake supper for the first time since February 2020. The MOWs are joining forces with the youth to offer this event to the parish. For Ash Wednesday, February 22, we will offer two services, at 12:00 noon and 7:00 pm. Both services will include Eucharist and the imposition of ashes.
We are offering three meaningful prayer and study opportunities this Lenten season. One is a small-group gathering, and two are book studies.
