GREETINGS ON THE SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
EASTER FLOWER & MUSIC MEMORIALS are now being accepted. Your gifts honor those who have died and enable us to fill the worship space with lilies and festival brass!
THE MAUNDY THURSDAY VIGIL is an opportunity to take Jesus up on his request, “Could you not watch with me one hour?” Sign up to keep vigil in the chapel for one hour. Each slot has two spots. A lit candle, Holy Communion, and spiritual writings will be with you as you keep watch. Use the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board inside the main doors.
