Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer, fasting, and repentance. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence before Easter.
I will be observing Ash Wednesday today at my church. I also have to figure out what to give up and/or take on as a part of this 40 day journey to Easter.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. May God bless you.
Observing the fourth Sunday of Advent at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.
The light of a candle is an important part of the holiday season. It’s a way people find their way home to the Divine.
There are magical things that happen at Night and that’s something to ponder. We see things in a whole new way.
Today I was elected by my fellow parishioners at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church to serve on the Vestry class of 2019. The Vestry is the servant/leadership body of the local parish. I would like to thank all my fellow parishioners for their faith and confidence in me to serve/lead in our terrific church. I am excited to be elected/chosen and to serve with Cassandra Lynch, Kim Kilgore and Anne Kearney Spratt who were also elected today. Thanks to Fr. Quinn Parman for his continued leadership as our Priest/Rector.
