Newsletter: Passiontide

Passiontide is a word that draws our attention to the end of Lent and the journey through Holy Week to Easter. On the fifth Sunday of Lent, we read the story of the raising of Lazarus, the seventh of Jesus’ signs in the Gospel of John. This story is a turning point both in the gospel and in our Lenten practice. From this point on, both Jesus’ face and our faces will be turned towards Jerusalem, travelling through Maundy Thursday and Good Friday ultimately to the resurrection on Easter Sunday.

You are invited to join us for the services and retreats offered through this holy time:

Palm Sunday - April 2nd, 8am & 10am

Maundy Thursday - April 6th, 7pm

Good Friday - April 7th, 10am

Holy Saturday retreat with Heather Ruce - April 8th, 10am-4pm

Easter Sunday - April 9th, 8am & 10am

Spring Yard Clean-up

Beginning this Saturday, March 25th at 9am, I will be at the church Saturday mornings from 9am to noon to open up the church and the shed to facilitate yard clean up. There are leaves to rake up, weeds to pull, soil to add to gardens, stumps to remove etc. etc. etc. If you feel able-bodied enough to come and do some of this work, please join us! And if you don’t feel able-bodied enough to help with this work, please consider donating coffee & tea or donuts to keep the crew sustained.

Please let me know if you or someone you know would like a clergy person to reach out to them!

With love,

Andrew

the Rev Andrew Halladay, Vicar
