You are invited to make Wednesdays at St. Mary's part of your Lenten devotion! Because of the layout of the calendar this year, we only have three Wednesday evenings for
Stations of the Cross
, Dinner, and a discussion. We will use a daily devotional book to help guide our discussions.
"A Spring in the Desert" by Frank and Victoria Logue includes a simple daily devotion for each day during Lent. We ordered 15 copies. If you'd like to reserve one of these copies, click
here
and fill out the form. If you'd like to purchase the book on your own, click

The New South Festival Singers
from Atlanta, Georgia, will be singing at the 10:00 High Mass at St. Mary's on Sunday, February 23. The 35-member a cappella ensemble will present a choral prelude beginning at 9:50 and will sing anthems during the liturgy. Now under the direction of Andrew Schmidt, the choir was founded in 1985 by St. Mary's member William Baker. Tours have taken New South Festival Singers across the Southeast and Midwest and to performances in Canterbury Cathedral and St. Margaret's Westminster. They have produced numerous recordings and have been featured on NPR's
Performance Today
, in addition to annual performances to capacity audiences at Charleston's Piccolo Spoleto Festival since 1989. Following Mass, New South Festival Singers will join us for our lunch reception.

The
Urban Necessities Project
, a ministry of St. Mary's, St. Augustine's, and Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, is a collaborative effort to serve the City Center community in Kansas City. Members of The Project seek to fulfill a need within the community to provide
basic non-food items
for individuals and families such as toiletries and household necessities. Through grants from the Deanery, we provide a sustainable service that seeks to engage
all members of our parish communities
as we come together on behalf of the individuals in our city who need our help. St. Mary's volunteers distribute the items once-per-month in conjunction with Downtown Outreach. Contact Project Manager,
Jen Dean,
for more information, or if you are interested in volunteering.
We are collecting these items through March
. Please adhere to the guidelines. It is important that items are easily transported and accommodate as many needs as possible. All items should be new and unused.
- Body wash - standard size (18 oz), unscented or gender neutral
- Body lotion - standard size (12-18 oz), unscented or gender neutral
- Shampoo - standard size (13 oz), unscented or gender neutral
- Toothpaste - travel size
- Feminine hygiene products (pads or tampons) - small packages that are easily transported by the community we serve
- Men’s deodorant - standard size (approx. 3 oz)
- Men’s and women’s socks
Thank you so much!

Don't miss the opportunity to meet and engage with other area Episcopal Youngish Adults for our first ever Jeffersonian Dinner.
About Jeffersonian Dinners:
The concept of the Jeffersonian Dinner gets its name from the third U.S. President and Founding Father, who, among his many accolades, is known to have been quite the host. Starting in the late 18th century, Thomas Jefferson invited colleagues and thought leaders from across the region to gather in his home for dinner and discussion of important topics of the day.
Jeffersonian Dinners create meaningful conversation by tapping into the wisdom of the room through a simple format based on empowering everyone present to share their perspectives and personal stories. The hope is to generate connections that last well beyond the shared meal, and a conversation that lives on.
