FROM FR. DAVID + Fr. David Lynch_
Participating in our Lenten ecumenical fellowship

I am excited for our joint participation in the annual Lenten fellowship with our fellow five churches, All Saints Lutheran, First Christian, Good Shepherd DOC, and Chapel Hill Presbyterian. Our first Wednesday fellowship was well attended and the next Wednesday session (March 11), is our opportunity to host and share with these friends. I hope you will make every effort to participate in coming for the meal at 6:00 pm and the service at 6:30 pm. Rev. Dr. Andrew Florio will be our Homilist. The food will be exquisite and we are asked to bring finger-food deserts. Looking forward to see you all!
 
Fr. Jay Sidebotham's Monday Matter's message can be read here. I encourage you to open the site and read his message for this first week of Lent.
