ANNOUNCEMENTS

MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

As we journey through Lent, reflecting on the holiness of this season, I'm reminded of the meaningful work we've undertaken together. Lent calls us to acknowledge and embrace its sacredness, often through practices of self-denial and spiritual discipline. This work, while deeply significant, can also be demanding.

Recognizing the challenges we face, I'm delighted to share a moment of respite with you this Sunday, Laetare Sunday, the midpoint of Lent. Traditionally a day of joy amidst the solemnity of the season, we will mark this occasion by adorning the sanctuary with the beautiful rose-colored vestments generously provided by Father John Greenhow. Let us come together to celebrate this brief interlude, rejuvenating our spirits for the remainder of our Lenten journey.

Also, I am thrilled to announce a new tradition at All Saints. On Good Friday, March 29th, Valentine Garcia will lead a group in the service of cleaning the headstones in our cemetery. For Valentine, this act of service holds deep significance, honoring the day with meaningful work. We will gather at 8am and conclude at noon, just in time for our Good Friday service in the sanctuary.

As we continue our Lenten pilgrimage, may these moments of celebration and service enrich our spiritual endeavors, drawing us ever closer to the divine.

Les Saints du Vin

Melissa and Chris Rush have graciously volunteered to fill a gap in our schedule for the wine tasting on March 10th at 4:00. This is their first time hosting and they are fairly new to the group. So come out and welcome them to the group if you have not already had the opportunity to do that, and thank them for hosting on short notice.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP to this e-mail by replying to all.

As usual, bring a dish to share with the group, we will be sharing in the cost of the wines, and we will be voting for our favorite wine via voluntary cash donations with those proceeds going to a charity we select at the tasting.

 Here's a short write up provided by Melissa: 

 In honor of Women's History month, our theme will be "Wines from Women Winemakers." Chris and I look forward to seeing you. 

Their address is 5906 Sunderleigh Dr Sunderland MD 20689.

Calvert Arts Festival News

Stay tuned here each week in the newsletter for CAF news and updates!

Auction Items needed for the CAF Silent Auction!

The Silent Auction at the Calvert Arts Festival (and also the Christmas Market) is always a successful part of our major fundraising events!

The Calvert Arts Festival is looking for donations for this year's Silent Auction. Do you have autographed memorabilia that you don’t want anymore? How about a gift card to a favorite restaurant? Do you really need two Instant Pots or George Foreman Grills? Too many timeshares to use in a year or maybe you could donate a long weekend at your Ocean City condo? How about donating a house cleaning or a home cooked meal? Popular items in the past have been timeshares, boating trips, anything with alcohol, themed baskets, home cooked dinners or cookies. Items with a value over $100 would be greatly appreciated. Please, no items valued under $20. Contact Mary Klausner at Klaus-acct@comcast.net with details or questions. We’ll need a photo, description and fair market value for each item.

Did you know that you can reserve your Beer/Wine Tasting and Souvenir Glass and tasting wristbands and $AVE money. Take a moment today to reserve your gla$$ early for $18 at
