The Question Box—From time to time, everyone has questions about why we do things the way we do. If you wonder, so does someone else. We now have a question box for your questions. Please put any question you may have in the box along with your name, and Catherine will try to answer a question or two during announcements each Sunday.

Noonday Prayer in the Parish House and Evening Prayer in the church at 7PM will take place every Wednesday during the season of Lent.
Next Sunday, 10AM in the Parish House- Praying with Silence. Silence is hard to find in our culture, and yet it is essential to our spiritual well being and ability to feel God’s presence in our lives. Practicing contemplative prayer can help us to cultivate an inner silence that creates space for God to dwell in us and for us to dwell in God.
Join us on March 25 at 7pm for Holy Eucharist, as we celebrate the appearance of the Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary.
