Wednesday Lenten Series

February 13th, 20th, 27th; March 5th, and 12th   6 - 8pm

Our popular Lenten “Soup-and-Salad-Supper-Series” resumes on February 13th.  For five Lenten Wednesdays, we gather for a simple supper, a presentation, and informal worship around the table.  All are welcome!

 

Our theme this year is, “I was hungry, and you fed me; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink.”  The focus of the series is our ever-increasing commitment to serving others beyond our gates, both close to home, and farther away.  Each presentation will start with a spiritually-based reflection from Father James, and will lead into a discussion of these different outreach ministries:  what they do, whom they serve, and how we might be more involved.

 

        Our presenters include:

  February 13th:      The Rev’d Susan Murphy           SNOW STORM

                             Chaplain, Windham Correctional Facility       see 3/12

 February 20th:      Richard Rasner,

                             Director, St. Elizabeth’s Essentials Pantry, Portland

 February 27th:      Allison Mason

                             Activities Director, Falmouth-by-the-Sea

 March 5th:            Talie and Joel Harris, Becky and Doug Pride

                             Ministering in Guatemala and Louisanna

 March 12th:                

                         The Rev’d Susan Murphy

                             Chaplain, Windham Correctional Facility

                             If time allows:  A updating and discussion about the Falmouth     Food Pantry, with representatives from other Falmouth churches.

 

The timetable is this:

                              Supper starting at 6:00

                             Presentation begins at 6:45

                             Informal worship at 7:40

                             Clean-up and out-the-door by 8:00.

 We need volunteers to make soup each week (two or three per week works well), with others bringing salad, bread, or beverage.  Sign up in the Guild room of the Parish House
