Lenten Forum Series
We are offering a weekly Lenten Forum facilitated by Seminarian Matt Haines from 10:15 to 11:00 am on five Sundays beginning on March 9. Happening between the 9:00 and 11:00 am services, Matt will lead an exploration of Episcopal saints from twentieth-century America whose faith caused them to radically live out the Baptismal Covenant.
Broadway Night this Weekend
Now we need more than ever to keep celebrating joy, bravery, and expression in all its forms. Our choir members are voluntarily putting themselves out there for our Broadway Night fundraiser: singing, dancing, memorizing lyrics and choreography, preparing a welcoming, beautified space with silent auction items, wine and dessert.
We Are Doing a Lot of Dishes
This week, I’m in Kansas City at the Episcopal Parish Network conference, reconnecting with colleagues and learning about ministry with marginalized communities, adaptive leadership, and capital fundraising. Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe is here, sharing his vision for transformation in The Episcopal Church. And, as always, the backdrop to our conversations is the immense upheaval and uncertainty in our country and beyond.
