Please join us as we discuss
Jon Meacham’s The Seven Last Words of Christ. The events of Good Friday and Easter reveal essential truths about Christianity. Beginning with “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” we will discuss how these words epitomize Jesus’s message of love, not hate; grace, not rage; and, rather than vengeance, extraordinary mercy.

Home Communion
During the pandemic we have provided a limited communion service for those unable to attend in-person church services. Beginning in April we will again offer a short worship service with holy communion at a parishioner's home. For those already signed up, one of the Eucharistic Ministers will contact you to arrange a date and time. All parishioners including those at Kendal can participate with the exception of those in Borden or Webster. As soon as we gain permission to access those areas we will be in touch. For parishioners uncomfortable with a home visit, we will continue to offer drop-off of a consecrated host on the second Sunday of each month. If you would like to be added to the list or need more information about home communion please contact the office.  
The organ is getting closer!
A member of the Casavant Team will be on site in early May to confer with Kjellstrom and Lee! In preparation, we continue to share bits of information about how an organ works. Today's share is about how the wind from bellows moves through the pipes. (Courtesy http://www.nazard.co.uk/organ.html)

Spiritual Life Inventory
My Way of Love is a personal guide for the spiritual journey, providing coaching to help individuals grow along the seven practices for Jesus-centered life: turn, learn, pray, worship, bless, go, and rest. It begins with a brief online survey which assesses where you are in your spiritual life.
Once your responses have been processed, Forward Movement will email an explanation of their findings, along with some tips for improving your spiritual journey. You’ll also be given a chance to sign up for an eight-week series of emails that will offer some suggestions, coaching for how you can grow spiritually, and ways you can go deeper in love of God and neighbor.
