Dear Parish Family,
We start with a very special Lenten Series: Come experience the Easter Story as you have never experienced it. You’ll feel like you are back in Jerusalem during Holy Week, the most momentous week in the history of the world. Come and experience the trial, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as TV news would cover it today. The setting for the “special news report” feature Martyn Lewis a real live tv news anchor on BBC. Martin along with other special “on the scene correspondents” reports the story of Holy Week and provides a greater understanding of the circumstances leading up to and surrounding Christ’s crucifixion. All are explained in fascinating detail as the narrative unfolds with this series, Dateline Jerusalem.
​
Come and join us!
​Fr. Jim+


Breakfast Ministry is Coming and We Need You!
Come join the Breakfast Ministry Team and help prepare a simple breakfast on Sunday mornings. We are looking for teams of 2 or 3 to participate once a month. The more teams we have the less the frequency of hosting. Breakfast will take place approximately 30 times a year and will require the team to be here for 8:15 am. We have menu ideas and simple to prepare recipes to share. There are suggestions for Team Member Roles … but you decide how to divide and conquer. Many hands make light work and all purchases are reimbursable. Our target date for our kick off Breakfast is Sunday February 26, 2023. Please see Mark Harrison for more information and to sign up.
