Following elections for new Vestry members at our annual meeting, the Vestry met on Saturday morning, March 3rd at the Parish House for a short retreat led by David and Krista to commence our efforts for this year. After a wistful remembrance of the stellar leadership provided by Patty Smith and Birdie Lowery as our most recent wardens (be sure to thank them for their service if you didn't get a chance at the annual meeting!), we welcomed new Vestry members Cliff Wieger (our new Junior Warden) and Katherine Brennan. A review of our 2017 goals and accomplishments (which you can find in our annual Parish report at the link below, or on the About/Leadership page of the Chapel website) led to a flood of ideas on areas for focus in 2018, about which there will be more later. Central to all of our ideas was a desire for expanded communication about the many ministries and activities under way at Chapel of Our Saviour; these Notes are in respose to that desire. Look for future updates in Chapel's weekly sendings.   -The Vestry

This Week's Readings

Volunteer to Serve during our Sunday morning worship

There are many ways to serve in our weekly liturgies here at Chapel of Our Saviour.  

The word "Liturgy" is derived from a Greek word that translates, "the work of the people."

During Lent, we will offer several trainings for those who would like to serve on Sundays.  

If you feel called to ministry as an usher, lector (reader),  Lay Eucharistic Minister, acolyte or intercessor (leader of the prayers of the people), 

please email Krista.  [email protected] .

Morning With Our Master

Saturday, March 17, 2018 9 am-Noon -- St. Mary Chapel

"He is not here; he has risen!"  It is said that Mary Magdalene brought a basket of white boiled eggs with her on Easter morning to the tomb of Jesus-perhaps as a meal for herself and the others as they waited for someone to roll the stone away. When she arrived at the site of the Resurrection, finding the stone already rolled away, she also found that the eggs in her basket had turned into bright shades of color. As we gather together approximately midway through Lent, we will look at various "traditions & customs" that have developed as we spend these weeks meditating on the greatest gift ever given. Join us for a morning of Lenten "fun" and meditation, won't you? All are welcome - consider bringing a friend. Light refreshments will be provided. Please feel free to add your contribution if you are so moved.
