Eat and Pray in Bolingbroke!

The Parish Breakfast returns on Sunday, March 3rd in Bolingbroke starting at 8:30 a.m. The 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services, Choir Rehearsal, Sunday School, and the Nursery will also be held in Bolingbroke. Plan your morning all in one location. Come and celebrate the day with food, prayer, and fellowship!

Eat, Pray, and Learn!

We are only a week away from Ash Wednesday! Sunday is the last one before Lent and the first day of the new month so Sunday School will begin at about 9:30 a.m. at Bolingbroke (after children have finished breakfast). We will again explore what it means for Christ's light to be in the world because it is Transfiguration Sunday.

Then children and youth of all ages will color the "Alleluia" word. At the end of the 10 a.m. service, the children will roll up the "Alleluia" banner, process out, and store the word for the season of Lent. From Ash Wednesday until the Easter Vigil we don't say the "A" word. Then on Easter Sunday we will joyfully unroll the banner and once again sing "He is risen! Alleluia!"

The nursery will also start at 9:30. Please contact Ms. Deb if you have any questions.

Multimedia Presentation

Sunday, March 3, is World Mission Day!

Fr. Chris will assist, and you are invited to bring friends who may also be interested in photographic arts or global mission. Please contact Deb Parker if you have questions.

A Night for Fun!

Join us on Tuesday, March 5th, at 6:00 PM to celebrate Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras with a Potluck Dinner in Bolingbroke. It's an occasion to enjoy food, fellowship, and fun before the season of Lent begins. Sign up sheets will be in the Gurley room or contact the main office at 610-688-4830 or [email protected].

Ash Wednesday's Schedule

Ashes will be distributed during the 12:00 and 7:00 PM Holy Eucharist services at St. Martin’s on Wednesday, March 6th.

Saintly Fun!

Want to be inspired by some saintly souls this Lent and have fun along the way? Join with thousands of Christians across denominations who have discovered the joyful online learning community that is Lent Madness. With its unique blend of competition, education, and humor, Lent Madness allows participants to be inspired by the ways in which God has worked through the lives of saints over the generations. Based loosely on the NCAA basketball tournament of a similar name, this online devotion pits 32 saints against one another in a single-elimination bracket as voters choose their favorites throughout Lent. Watch for copies of the saintly brackets on the bulletin board in the downstairs hall at St. Martin's, and printed for you to take home. To learn more, visit the Lent Madness website.

Donation Opportunity!

Spring is coming! Time to go through your closet and thin out your wardrobe. St. John’s Episcopal Church in Norristown is in need of clothing, especially blue jeans and men's pants. Perhaps there are some gently used pairs in your closet that might benefit someone in need. There will be a clothes basket on the first floor of St. Martin's marked “Clothing for St John’s”. Any questions, please see Dennis Bingham. Thank you for your generosity!
