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.

$10 Admission Register at saintmichael.org/lentenretreat by March 29.

Dr. Samira Izadi Page, Founder and Executive Director of Gateway of Grace, as our special guest preacher for our Lenten Choral Evensong next Sunday, March 31 at 5:30 p.m. in the church. Samira spoke this past September at a Women of Saint Michael luncheon, and returns now to preach. Gateway of Grace is an outreach ministry working with refugees and the offering will benefit this ministry.

The 5:30 Chapel service will take place as usual.

Check out the store for some great Lenten and Easter gifts. We have Lenten devotional books, Lenten prayer cubes and some pretty handmade papier mache bunny boxes from India. The handmade eggs from Germany and Austria are still in stock, so come by and get yours before they sell out.
