Celebrating our 30th Anniversary...1989-2019
|
|
Welcome to the season of Lent! What a wonderful opportunity we have for self reflection, repentance and the deep love of God that knows no bounds. No matter where you are there’s always room for turning around and facing God again. In other words, God is always available if we will repent and return to Him. There’s a song from the 80’s by Benny Hester “When God Ran” and it is a wonderful story of The Prodigal Son and, by extension, us.
My office hours:
I’m in the office normal hours the next couple weeks which is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. If you need something and those days aren’t convenient then don’t hesitate to call me: (949) 300-0359.
The Rev. Dawn Vukich+

Test your knowledge! Every week during Lent we'll ask 4 questions here.
|
|
1. Historically, when did Christians start observing Lent?
2. Do you know where those ashes come from that we use on Ash Wednesday?
3. What did a New Orleans archbishop recently declare could be eaten on Fridays, since it is considered part of the "fish family"?
4. How many Stations of the Cross are there?

Starting March 9 we will be offering an additional weekly service on Saturday nights from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. We'll be experiencing our customary liturgy and Holy Eucharist in new ways.
For those with scheduling conflicts on Sundays, this could be a great alternative.
Hope to see you Saturday!
