LENTEN RETREAT Led by Brother James Koester & Brother Jim Woodrum, SSJE
March 30 | 9 a.m. - Noon | Coke Room This day will have ample times of silence to allow us to come away, and rest awhile. Interspersed throughout our time together, will be a series of addresses focused on some of the characters in the Gospel of John and how they invite us to reflect on what Prologue might mean where it says to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.

MORE UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES ADMISSION OF CHORISTERS | MAR. 31 On March 31 at 9 a.m., some of our new boy and girl choristers will receive their white surplices to wear over their red cassocks during services in a ceremony called Whiting. To achieve this admission, choristers have worked for months to complete a curriculum based on the Royal School of Church Music which includes singing technique, reading music, theory, analysis, behavior, teamwork, and Christian formation. Join us as we recognize their accomplishment and welcome them as full members of our choristers! HONDURAS THREADS INFORMATION DINNER | MAR. 21 Thursday, March 21 6 - 8 p.m. Coke Activities Room The Honduras Threads mission trip is from June 23-29. Running a business means putting processes in place for sales, fulfilling orders, billing and quality control. As the Honduras Threads social enterprise grows, the focus this year is on improving these processes. It’s also on continuing to learn what customers really want. We need your help with this work. Neither deep knowledge of process improvement nor fluency in Spanish is required. Instead, an inquisitive mind, ability to collaborate and a desire to facilitate change are what’s needed among missioners. RSVP to mlou@hondurasthreads.org before Tuesday, March 19. If you are interested in this mission trip but can’t come to the dinner, please email the above address with your contact information.
