Reception after 11 AM service Sunday
A covered-dish picnic reception to welcome Bishop Adams and in honor of those who are being received will follow the service at around 12:15 on the green next to the Center. Please bring your favorite ready-to-serve picnic-type dish to share. Reheating facilities are limited. Beverages and paper products will be provided. Johan Peers and her crew would appreciate help with set-up and/or clean-up. If you normally attend the 9 AM service, you're invited to return for the picnic. Don't forget to bring a lawn chair!

There's still time to catch the bus
Even if you missed the first leg of the journey, you can still participate in the Lenten adult classes based on
C.S. Lewis's
The Great Divorce
. The book, available through Amazon or your local bookstore or library, is powerful in its message of repentance and renewal. The bus travels on
Wednesdays: Mar. 27
and
Apr. 3 and 10
at either 10 AM or 6:30 PM. A soup supper will be served at 6 PM.
(Note: The Wednesday Holy Eucharist will take place at 5:30 as usual.)
