Visit our website for our in-person Holy Week offerings, and to register. They’re robust, and we will be outdoors and online for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and THREE in-person services on Easter Day (with Paxton Searcy baptized at 11:00 am!) We will also have an in-person, outdoor, simplified Great Vigil of Easter.

Join us for our Easter Egg Hunt between services! Our toddlers (0-3) will find eggs on the small playground behind the church and turn them in for an Easter surprise! Our younger kids (4-6) will gather on the large field beside Oakdale Park, while our older kids (7-9) will hunt on the playground by the upper parking lot! Masks will be required for those over 2. In the event of rain, we will reschedule for the following week. We can't wait to see all the kids in person once again!

Celebrate Holy Eucharist together in person every Sunday at 2:00 pm in the upper lot. Please register ahead of time. We are limited to 75 folks per service.

Many people have mentioned the sense of loss of not being able to put their offering in the collection plates. We are still not able to "Pass the Plate" but beginning Sunday, March 21, we will have a Collection Basket at the 2:00 Outdoor Service. Please bring your offerings, cash or check, and place them in the basket. One more small step towards regathering for church.

|
Sundays 9:30 a.m.
Join us as we continue our discussion of the Triduum— the three holy days at the heart of our faith when we experience most profoundly the Paschal Mystery: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Great Vigil of Easter.
Links to join will be sent in Saturday's email.

After Easter, we will be forming a new Discernment Class for 2021. This Discernment process requires a six-week preparation period for candidates to be able to learn and prayerfully consider what it means to become a Daughter of the King (DOK).

Baptism is full initiation, by water and the Holy Spirit, into Christ's body the church. People of all ages are baptized at St. Benedict's. If you desire Holy Baptism for you or your child, or are even just curious about baptism, please reach out to Mo. Jenna. I am trying to get a sense of how many folks might be desiring baptism this Eastertide and beyond.

Wednesday, March 24 7:00-7:30pm
Eva Lukkonen Sullivan, voice teacher and speech pathologist, will lead a talk with information and exercises to help keep voices healthy. This workshop is for everyone, not just people who sing! Especially during this time, stress can affect our voices, and Eva will present some tools and resources to help all of us, whether you use your voice by talking throughout the day, and/or enjoy singing alone or with others.

Mom's Bible Study will meet on Sunday, March 21 at St. Benedict's upper parking lot from 11-12 pm. This will be a chance to regroup and meet Mo. Jenna.

We are introducing a Lenten calendar for your kids to peruse during this season! It works just like a virtual Advent calendar-- open the door corresponding to the current day of Lent. There will be an image, or a song, or a read-aloud based on the lectionary readings of the day. I hope this will help your children spend a little time each day thinking about what Lent means to them. You can find the calendar HERE.

The Women's Bible Study meet via Zoom on Monday mornings at 10:30 and welcomes any and all who might be interested. Currently we are studying Paul’s Letter to the Colossians. Please use the attached Zoom link to jump aboard and then save that link for further use as it is a recurring link.

A reminder to all parishioners that St. Benedict's is committed to the various care needs of its member families. A dedicated group of volunteers are continuing to offer their time to serve our church community within various pastoral care capacities, including prayer requests, transportation, meal delivery, Eucharistic visits with Diocesan-approved safe protocols, and more. Mo. Jenna is also readily available for prayers, calls and/or visits for those in need.
Do not hesitate to reach out to Kerry Thomas or Anna Best about Pastoral care needs for yourself, your family, or your friends. We are here to help and serve!
