Lenten Meditations
Who is My Neighbor?
According to The Book of Common Prayer, Lent provides us with the opportunity for self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting and self-denial; and to read and meditate on God’s holy word (BCP, p 265). This Lenten Season, Episcopal Relief & Development invites you to join us, as we meditate on the commandment to love our neighbor and consider the meaning of this fundamental instruction in our daily lives. “Who is my neighbor?” Sign up here sign up https://www.episcopalrelief.org/church-in-action/lent/#subscribeto receive a meditation in your inbox each day. May God richly bless you this Lenten season.
Adult Christian Formation – Sunday Mornings at 10:00 AM
Holy Living, Holy Ending
Planning for Aging and End-of-Life Matters
The Season of Lent is an appropriate time to intentionally consider our mortality. At some point, our time on earth will come to an end, yet we are promised that death is not the final end, for there is everlasting life in God. We are offering a series during Lent, entitled Holy Living, Holy Ending. This is an opportunity to hear experts discuss topics covering Reasons for Planning, Understanding Medical Forms, Evaluating Needs, Hospice Care, Final Resting Place, and Funeral Planning.
This is an opportunity to hear experts discuss topics covering Elder Law, Evaluating Needs, Hospice Care, Final Resting Place, and Funeral Planning. We hope you will join us Sunday mornings during Lent at 10:00 in Otey Hall, beginning Feb 26.
