To Everyone, Everywhere
I saw this on a hoodie and thought it would be good for everyone, everywhere to know. It’s true, the world is a better place with you in it. Have a great Friday and weekend ahead.
Called and Ordained To Serve
I was witness to 3 new ministers of The Episcopal Church being ordained tonight. Two women and one man were charged with service to God and the people of East Tennessee. They have put in the work and answered the call. I am proud to be in a religious community that ordains men and women. Their calling comes from a God that created them with hearts, minds and souls to minister to a world that needs to love and care for the poor, the prisoner, the sick and their neighbors.
Ash Wednesday – The Season of Lent
Ashes are a sign of mortality and repentance. Remember that you are dust and to dust you will return. The season of Lent has begun. May those who observe have a time of reflection, renewal of spirit and self-denial. Peace to all in this time.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Day
Today is Shrove Tuesday, many know it as pancake day. In some Christian traditions, this holiday revolves around feasts, parties and parades before the observance of Lent begins. In the early ages of the Church, people took pancakes to the Church and ate them while they were waiting to be shrived. At my church we gathered to eat pancakes, enjoy company and have some fun. Our youth sponsored our event as a fundraiser for a summer trip where they will go to help the Appalachian Service Project.
Oh, It’s Monday
